I've seen many beds like yours that have the step removed and replaced with a fiberglass custom made panel. This requires a bunch of work to the side and lower front portion of the fender.

If your looking for a used bed, try looking for converted trailers .
I could be wrong, but it does look like removing the fiberglass sides will reveal flat steel bedsides.

ill continue to search ebay and craigslist, but I haven't had any luck. were all the beds the same from 56 thru 87, other than the fenders?
