Late Model Bed Swap
I know I seen one of the board members with a late model step side bed on theis truck. I think it was a 88 thru ?. I am planning on starting my tear down and resto in about a month and I really like the look. Can anyone tell what years the bed swap will work?

If you really like the look and you have any welding skills, change one of the wheel openings to match. I've seen it done either way (rounded for the rear or squared for the front). Cut the section from the desired opening and and match and cut the undesired opening. Then weld into place. You can do some basic bodywork to blend it. Most people are afraid of bodywork but, if I can do it, anyone can. You can do it!
