71 bed qeustion

i have a 71 chevy c-10 about 40% restored,the only thing keeping me from starting on bodywork/paint is the bed(stepside),the one that came off only had one good fender and side panel,i cant find a decent bed anywhere and all new replacement parts are a little out of my price range and i was wondering if a 73-87 stepside would fit and what all it would take to make it fit,has anyone expiremented with this?

I am positive you can get it to fit ,just might look a little funny.

wont look quite as funny as a 92 bed ive seen on a few:LOL:

True ,Have you checked LMC they sell body panels seperately?
