Re: late model bed install
 the cover is not included its sold already. but for $50.00 more i will throw in a almost new rear sport bumper with brackets . if you need one that will save you at least a $100.00 to put toward gas to come get the bed.

Re: late model bed install
You have seen what they look like when they are finished now I will show you what the start of a project looks like.
The picture is of my '67 with a '96 step bed. Danny

Re: late model bed install
Sorry toke awhile to get back to you guys, what with a little visit from Gustav. But I thought about a late model bed as i can get one locally for $100 but need to know how much trouble to swap. I need details.

Re: late model bed install
actually, it fits quite nicely.
This is what I did for the front. I have new bushings on the cab, so I went according to that to line it up. It's 1" square tubing (however wide the cross-sil is), with a 3/8" flat bar on top of that. leveled out quite nicely.

Re: late model bed install
I like the way Mike Nutt shaved the rear quarters to blend it in. That's the only way to go!

Re: late model bed install
they look good. if the price is right go for it. the gm s 10 rear step bumper also is a nice fit for a rear bumper to.
