If you live in Texas and don't want that flareside bed anymore, I am interested.

Re: Flareside bed to Styleside bed !
The only problems you should have are rusty fasteners and old wiring...should be pretty straight forward. Make sure you take a few pics...we want to see!

Re: Flareside bed to Styleside bed !
The only problem I see is the alignment of the mounting points on the frame and bed. Check them close. You may need to adjust the mounting points on the frame to line up with the mounting points on your Styleside bed floor. Those you cannot move. Good luck. Hope it all works out for you.
