bed swap on an 03

I Have a 2003 extended cab stepside. Im looking for a regular bed so i can put a cap on it. What i need to know is what years / cab styles will fit my frame. Any info or links welcome. t

 

Beds from 1996-2004 extended cab trucks will fit.

Not sure about regular cabs, but definitely not double cabs, as the double cabs only have short beds.

 

You need a bed from 01-04 the gas door has lock in early ones and body line is different also tail lights. I have a rust free silver reg bed I would be willing to trade you for your step in in pa from a 01

 

Also you will be bumper set up for fleet side bed. FYI

 

Been considering this as well... a few companies made toppers for stepsides, but they're hard to find used.

I know that ARE and Range Rider both have canopies, and someone else makes a softtopper for stepsides as well.

 

Agree with the '01-'04 bed/bumper swap. There was a modest body/frame redesign after '00.

 

Keep in mind. The 2wd and 4wd are different as well.

 

Yeah man if you are willing to trade beds i'll bring a friend to help and drive up your way. Im in MD so thats not a bad drive. I'll PM you when i get home later.

 

MY truck is 4x4 btw

 

yepper. And okay kool

 

make sure you transfer over the fender flares to correspond

also is that a lock on the gas door or a button? Only reason I ask is, could be keyed for your ignition

 

It's a lock, I use the same key to open it as i do to start the truck.

 

Please destroy your old bed when done with the swap, and make the world a better place. Those step sides have no business existing.

 

lol They are cool for a street truck, just not big enough for what I need.

 

gas tank key lock only held in with a clip,make sure you swap the locks also

 

Yeah I saw that when I was outside looking at it earlier. looks like it just slides right out after you take that clip out.

 

100% agreed

I have seen them on rangers, tundras, Ford/chevy, they remind me of sumo wrestler.

Fat person wearing thongs ....

 

I always thought the step side 1st gen Tacomas looked awesome...to each their own I guess


1st gen step side Tundras on the other hand, there's a truck only a mother could love.

 

Hahah 100% this!
