    stepside vs. fleetside

    I currently have a fleetside and i was wondering if a stepside will bolt right on to my frame without any modifcations. and how much lighter if any is the stepside?

    Not sure if it will bolt right up, but if it helps, the stepside has eight bolts total - four toward the front and four toward the rear.

    Yes kiddos---it will bolt up! No probs--and it is wayyy lighter cause the fenders are fiberglass.
