ive always been a fan of the stepside bed yea the bed is smaller but i love the look and was woundering if anyone has seen a mazda with the stepside bed and if i decided to head to a junk yard and snag one up what all would i need to get bed,tailgate,bumper and ?

 

i think you could get away without the bumper ... but yes youd need the entire bed incl tails and tailgate

never seen anyone put a ranger step on a mazda

 

you'll need the fill tube for the gas tank also!

 

To my knowledge, Mazda has never put a stepside bed on the current models of the B-Series (94-present)

 

He knows that, he wants a stepside RANGER bed on his Truck...

 

Please inform me of where he said that, thanks.

I am basing my reply off of what I read, which was...

 

sorry didnt read that far into his post. i appoligize.. i figured stepside bed= ranger...

 

i thought the stepside bumper were shorter?

 

maybe im not sure

the real question is your truck is a year old ... something happen with the corrent bed?

 

i dont think so, he said he liked the looks of one..

 

sorry i made it confusing i ment to say has anyone ever seen a mazda with a stepside bed swap

 

Gotcha.

Andy, you win. lol.

I was just going by what I read thats all.

 

yah no biggie same here..

and btw what do i win?

 

nope bed is in near perfect shape minor scratches inside the bed from halling camping gear and a very small dent in the bed floor from hauling a 8KW onan generator that hade a bolt sticking out of the bottom im just thinking about future things to do to it

 

you'd need the bed, tailgate, bumper/brackets, and prolly the filler neck as said above, as well as the tails and any wiring associated with them. Prolly wouldn't be bad to get all the mounting hardware for the stuff too

 

Hmmmm, i could let a complete step side bed go for cheap....just needs paint to match......

 

i just looked up your projet log for a pic of the bed id love to take it off your hands problem is frieght would kill me and im looking at 1745 miles round trip if i drive it

 

Dammm, you must be in southern cali.....i'd be up for half ways if the price is right, given it'd be probably two day son the road down, you know....dammit.....lol, but steppies are awesome, i'm just not man enough to do it i guess.....

 

lol not to mention i would have to get a hitch which i wanna do anyway and find a trailer cuz theres no way in hell im piggy-backin that thing all the way back theres a ton of junk yard in bakersfield i need to go hit them up for all there goodys im sure i could find a good bed in one

 

as far as I know the bumpers are same width, I know the bumper brackets for a stepside and a fleet side are different, the stepside's start out wide at the bumper and then bend in to mount on the frame, and the fleet side or whatever, are pretty much strait from bumper to frame.

 

Step side FTL

 

crazy canadians that drive slammed b2200's FTL!!!!

 

Werd

Flare Side FTW.

 

2000 Mazda b2500 complete restoration. Ford ranger fenders, front bumper, and step side. The b series are completely interchangeable with rangers. I did not have to use a different filler neck, the original rear bumper fits perfect. I replaced the fenders with ranger fenders because finding a b2500 at the JY is impossible around here.
