Anyone know where to find a stepside box for a W300

Re: Bed for 69 W300
That would be the 9' utiline box. Unless you get lucky in a junkyard somewhere, they are scarce and go for serious cash. The dually wheel version more so!
Re: Bed for 69 W300
It took about 9 months for me, had to make a day trip to another state to get it.
Two versions, single rear wheel and dual rear wheels. This affects the bed side steps too.
The bed sides are 9' 1" overall length. Bed sides are the same other than the holes to attach the fenders.
The tail gates, front panel and step brackets are the same as the shorter beds.
No one makes the metal bed strips for the 9 beds though.
Best of luck with the search!

The only one I have ever seen personally was on a early 60's D300. It was a dually.

Re: Bed for 69 W300
The 9' utiline bed also requires a different rear axle that is about 4" wider between backing plates. Those are as scarce as the beds.
Re: Bed for 69 W300
Can you clarify that?
Single rear wheel applications, dual rear wheel applications, both or?

Re: Bed for 69 W300
The beds are 48" wide, inside. Add wall profile to that for outside dimension. Std axle backing plates are 47.5" between. Bed sits on frame and if it drops between backing plates when loaded it might need wider axle for both SRW and DRW. Friend with both setups says all his DRW trucks are wider and his SRW trucks are narrow axles. (He has 6, all were gov't trucks) My DRW truck had the wider axle.
Re: Bed for 69 W300
On the single rear wheel with 9 foot box the rear axle is the same one used on flatbed/cab and chassis 1 tons.
ON the Dually trucks with 9 foot box the rear axle is much wider
