your truck has alot of potential goodl uck with it and welcome to the boards

6T9GMC · 05-25-2003, 12:20 AM

THANKS!!

Welcome to the board from Ohio...lots of good info on here.
One thing you may have not noticed with the late model beds, the wheel wells don't match, and the lower portion doesn't line up very well.
It is known what I think of this swap, but don't let me or anyone else stop you if that's what you want. You could repair the tail lights and replace the tailgate cheaper than you may think.
Anywyas, welcome to the board and don't be afraid to ask questions.

6T9GMC · 05-25-2003, 12:57 AM

I'VE NOTICED THE WHEEL WELLS.. I'M GONNA MAKE THEM BOTH THE SAME SHAPE, JUST DON'T KNOW IF ROUNDED OR SQUARE YET?

6T9GMC · 05-25-2003, 01:01 AM

MY FATHER-IN-LAW ALWAYS WANTED TO PUT THE NEWER BED ON IT...TRYING TO DO SOME OF THE STUFF HE WANTED TO DO TO IT, FOR HIM. HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO MUCH TO IT, SO HE SOLD IT TO ME TO FIX UP!

Longhorn Man · 05-25-2003, 01:03 AM

Sweet, good luck to you.

*dtlilly* · 05-27-2003, 02:32 AM

Welcome from W. Tennessee. Sounds like a good project.

How much for the steps from your truck?

sixty8chev · 05-27-2003, 03:34 AM

Just my 2 cents,
but go with the rounded wheelwells if you can,
if ya want to see somethin with square all the way round I'm sure somebody can direct ya to the one with the tucked duallies, and you can draw your own conclusions

Seke69 · 05-27-2003, 05:05 AM

welcome from Minnesota!

I could use a bed, but I'm lookin' for a short fleetside... should look pretty cool with a late model bedside, do have one in mind? or have you bought one yet? look for 'lotik's' posts I think he did it (may have been someone else though). good luck!
