Has anyone else heard of this swap? my bed is pretty banged up. I've though of just repairing it, but thought that this swap would make my truck unique in this area. I imagine the bolt hole patterns are different, but what else would have to be done? rewiring the taillights, anything special there? or with the filler neck?

 

I have seen a few dodges with mid 90's Chevy step sides. Some conversion company in Texas offered them I believe. Anything can be done with the right amount of money and time.

 

+1 on the chevy beds. Actually have one a couple blocks over from my place.

 

Any pics of these?

 

Better spray it with some mopar paint too so that the O.E. Ford rust doesn't start showing up early on you!! LOL!!

 

There is actually a guy on here with one, I will see if I can find it.

Here you go

I think the Ford stepside would look good, but it would have to be a 97-03 stepside, not the previous body stepsides as they are a bit too boxy for the curves of the Ram.

 

heres another chevy style

never seen one with a ford bed, but it should look fairly similar




ramsport, i dont think the 97-03 would work too well, here is my g/fs old truck......i think the front wouldnt fit well and look funky

 

the chevy style beds were called ramside and they were made by glaval...not much info about them

 

The Hide-N-Side bed in that link looks a lot like the inspiration for the Ram Box on the 4th gens..

 

Dakota, good point, I almost forgot they sort of wrapped around the cab up at the front.
