Default Changing A style side

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was looking for a bed for a short wheel base 79 f150, well I finally found a good used on. The bed has a few dents and it is a fleet side. For the restoration that I am doing the pickup needs to be a fleet side. How do I change the cab of the truck which is a style side. If you don't know how to then push me in the right direction on where to look. Any help or suggestions are always appreciated. I am trying to make the truck be just like my grandfathers 1979 Custom that he bought brand new. Will post pictures in a week or two.

I would have thought the cab would be exactly the same.
Fleetside and styleside are the same thing.
Fenderside and flareside and stepside are the same thing.

Sorry my bad, I used the wrong term. The truck is a two tone Ranger XLT and it has the chrome along the bottom, the box does not have that and that is what I want. I need to remove the lower chrome so it matches and then it will fit the bill for my restoration. A how to would be very helpful.
