Did Dodge make a 8 foot step side box pickup in the 70's? I am looking at a parts truck and it looks like it has an 8 foot box on it. Will the rear stepside box fenders form a 8 foot bed work on a 6 foot bed?

Thanks!

Yep and I may be wrong but, yep.

As far as I know, the fenders are the same and will bolt onto most boxes.


Outcast Dodge guy.

Yes the fenders are the same.

ok Thanks for the input guys. I just wanted to know before I went and bought them. The truck is a 79 with an 8 ft. stepside box and mine is a 80 with a 6 ft. stepside box.
