sportside/townside bed interchange?
did some searching but didn't get any good answers. will a '78 shortbed townside bed fit my '81 sportside? i don't want to see this crushed. it's only the second jtruck i've seen in the yards here in two years. (the other is in my garage). the tailgate is $50 but the whole bed is $199. this was someone's project that wasn't finished. it's basically just a body, frame and axles, but the body is in primer, and looks like it was all straightened out. there is still tape on some chrome trim. there is a chrome step bumper with curved ends, not end caps, marked 'jeep special equipment'.
half price day is about three weeks away, i don't think this will last that long.

The bed is a direct bolt on, the filler neck to the fuel tank will be different... might grab the early gas tank with the bed if possible.  |

well, i'm not getting rid of the sportside bed, just wanted to know if i could swap it. the sportside bed is prettier, the townside more practical. and i've heard of fiberglass fenders being stolen. for $200, this bed would be good. i didn't see any rust underneath this rig, but the top of the bed floor had rust from where the PO had a bunch of cardboard catching the rain.
