I have a 2004 xlt supercab stepside. I was wondering How to go about doing a swap to a fleetside.

What parts are needed to do this swap as well as what beds will fit on my 04

 

just the bed and filler neck

 

All Ranger stepsides will fit. All you need is the bed, maybe bolts, and gas tank filler neck. I may be leaving out a few things.

 

And yes, you're tail lights you have already will work on the new bed incase you were going to ask.

 

Longer filler neck and vent tube, or just extend the existing alot like a body lift kit does. Youll also need a rear bumper. Other than that, it's a direct swap.

 

So all ranger 93+ fleetside shortbeds will work on my 04.

 

Yep.

 

Body lines match up?

 

hasn't changed since 93 lol

 

to craigslist it is to find one being parted out. or Pick N Pull

 

Just so you know I just did this the other way around...and the Gen 3 i.e. 93-97 filler necks dont work with the 98+ Trucks due to they are a once piece non vent tube design!

 

Hmm...but I ran a '95 stepside bed on my '01 truck....

 

So if i found an old bed i would have to find a new filler neck?

 

I'm pretty sure he is just talking about the filler neck not the bed.

Yes or just extend your current filler neck. Go to Lowes and get you a 1 1/4" connector and go to advance and get you a small piece of 1 1/4" fuel line and extend it. I can't remember what size the vent tube is. Maybe 1/4" or 1/2" and do the same.

 

Gotcha. Thank you. I hope i can do the swap soon.

 

can a 6ft or 7ft bed be used or does it only fit the 6ft?

 

Only the 6ft bed.
