73-80 bed on a 81-87.
Will a 73-80 bed bolt right onto a 81-87? I need a new bed for the bucket and figured maybe I'd switch to the step side bed.

It will bolt up they are the same, except most of the new 81-87 has the gas flap doors and the older ones just have the round whole cut out.
But the bed will fit on a newer one, or a newer one on a old one. |

The fill tubes on the '81-87 are smaller than the 73-80 ( you need to use the one specific to the tank). Knowing your skills I am confident you can get it to work, so just use the fill tube in yours. 73-78 has the gas tank on the passenger side wiht an exposed cap, 79-up have it on the drivers with a door.

Good to know. I found a decent bed on ebay that's decently priced right now and it's not too far. The wood floor is toast but that's something I would replace anyway.
![]() I’m not worried about the fuel filler hole as that would get shaved anyway. ![]() This one has the passenger filler and that's good because the tank I have is the passenger. ![]() Last edited by Izzy; 04-30-2004 at 09:10 AM. |
