What year bed is this?

[jspringston1]

I have recently purchased a 1970's stepside bed, I believe its between 1973 and 1978. I'm not for sure though and need to know because I may need to replace the fenders on it but i haven't seen any fenders with the weird style of tail light that is put inside the fender so i think it may be customized. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

(p.s. this isn't the actual picture of the bed but its the exact same as mine.)

Rear cab band is 73-80. Need to see both fenders to know for sure what year it is from.

73-80 has side marker lights, 81-87 dont.

73-78 have right side or dual fuel fill cap, 79-80 have right side or dual fuel fill doors.

81-87 have left side or dual fuel fill doors.

Definitely not a stock bed that is for sure. Those rear lights have been done differently and the fenders look more like 88-98 style.

Thanks so far guys! It kinda bums me out because it looks cool but if i do indeed need to replace them i'm not sure if i'm capable of doing that.

Oh and the fenders have side marker lights and it's duel filler caps, not the doors

From what you've posted i believe its a 1973-78. I really like the way the tail lights are set up but i wasn't sure if it were stock or not. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Yeah those lights look they are from a early 80s dodge Van

That's not factory, unless it is some hybrid from another country. Like those weird Chevy's they have down there in South America & Mexico.
