Yeah, me too. I like old with old and I believe in John 3:16 too.

well I really like the late model beds, but they dont look right if you try to leave everything else orginal, if use one of these beds you gotta drop your truck and run after market wheels or it will look nuts....I wouldnt trade my LMB (late model bed) for and orginal bed, the truck just wouldnt be the same ( I have done some fine photo work to check it out. but when i do my next truck it will have an orginal bed on it... just depends on what kind of truck you are building i suppose

Re: new vs. old
 

New beds ruin the look of the truck, IMO - no matter how nice the truck is. It just doesn't flow...

That doesn't look too bad on that there truck

Re: new vs. old
 

here's one i did for a guy and the box was all we could find at the time not bad but i like the origanal instead what i don't like is the way the top of the bed doesn't match to the cad other than that it's ok

Re: new vs. old
 

and the 73 and up look even worse of course the same guy owns this one and yes i put it together for him and told him i didn't think it looked right as the body lines ain't there but it's what he wanted

The original stepside and fleetside beds have great lines to them and sre just part of the beauty of these trucks. I don't like putting the newer beds on on them. Just my .02 cents.
