    I have a close friend that put a 59 stepside on a Blazer 4x4 frame. He did have to shorten the bed a few inches(can ask him how many). This was not hard with the stepside but would probably be more involved with a fleetside. He used it for many years to pull his fishing boat with no problems and it was great for going up and down the wet ramps when launching or recovering his boat.
