I bought my floorboards from Good mark, been awhile but I'm pretty sure you can use pick ups. If I'm wrong, someone will chime in.

Rad. support is only different because of the double headlites, you can undo the spotwelds and swap around.

As far as the bed goes, this might case you problems as nothing is made yet to really do a proper job. Things are always changing so maybe by time you need one they will be remade. A couple months ago, I saw a really nice used bed for sale in our 'classified section' it was in New Jersey and it was green, don't recall if it was sold or not, but used mite be the best way to go

Since you doing the floors, you mite want to consider the one pc. floors that are now being sold for pick ups. I had to buy a bunch of patch panels to fix my floors, but it mite be easier to modify a truck floorboard... don't know your call
