The newer bed is definitely funky.... Anyone think it looks good?

The bed seems to match the cab pretty well unlike most I've seen.

I wouldnt mind the look of that swap so much. Its not to bad. If it were mine though, Id just try to figure out a way to have more period correct tail lights.

not my cup of tea but it looks alright on THAT truck...

i like it on that truck -- that started to be a popular swap in the early 90's and those are early 90's wheels

That said -- i would prefer the original bed, but that truck looks nicely done and i would not hesitate to roll in that sucker

Looks good, someone has taken some time and effort to match up the bed and the lines look nice. Personally I would drive it until I could locate & purchase a nice Fleetside Short Bed, swap it back old school, and roll with a more Classic 72 SWB Fleet appearance. Personal preference, and you know what opinions are like, so if you dig it...run with what ya brung.

I think it looks pretty good, i would have chosen a different set of wheels, but to each his own

I think the correct box would look a lot nicer and would probably change the wheels also, but that is why these are all called custom so everyone can make it the way they like it!!

From that angle that looks pretty good. Not sure how it would look from other angles though, Im not big fan of the late boxes.

looks pretty nice. not a big fan of the new bed on the old c10s

Re: Does anyone like the look of this truck?
 
It would look so much better with the upper body line on the bed filled in and different tail lights.

Change out the bed and wheels and that would be one sweet ride!

Lools like a clean little truck. As others said, I too am not a fan of late model beds on these trucks......the mismatched wheel well openings are less noticeable because it's Black. The wheels don't look half bad either except they are just "old' looking.

wouldn't take much to make it a lot better looking though.

Not really my cup 'o tea but it is not totally bad. Still is a Chevy instead of one of those "homologation" rides that have been around.
Here is another example of the "early cab/late bed" trucks:

There are allot of half breads out here in the high desert of California. I like the original step side bed and would spend the money to get one for the truck. At least the black truck is a chevrolet bed and not a dodge bed.

Wrong front fenders for 67 or side marker light for 68

Re: Does anyone like the look of this truck?
 
I think the truck looks decent with the later model bed. But, like everyone says, it's a personal opinion. I tend to favor the lines of the factory beds and I've have both fleet and steps over the years.

For that matter, what do you guys prefer, a SWB or a Short Step-Side?:chevy:
