Needing new radiator support .Frame is solid, had rear coils that has been changes to leaf . The bed is step side from around a 65 . When i had it titled at the local dmv , speedo showed fewer miles than before ( somemone could have changed it ) .

Re: Greetings from southwest Virginia
Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. Check out our FAQ submissions page, Index thread to find some really good reading.
Here's a link. ![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=157669 Check the Pictures forum for trucks with the newer model beds. If the wheel arches are made to match it looks ok.

Re: Greetings from southwest Virginia
Welcome to the board for California
In my personal opinion, I'm not to fond of the newer beds on older trucks. I would say stick with the correct year bed
