Hey all I know the differences in the cab area from year to year but how bout the beds. Will the beds or to build your own the bedsides be the same for all the years? I have a 68 I know the 67 would be the same but what about the other years
Thanks
Dave

67 doesn't have side markers. 69-72 does.

I wasn't even thinking about those What about the shape. That is the same for all? Correct?
Thanks
Dave

69-72 marker cut outs are all the same.
Other than that the only difference is wood or steel floor.

I know all long beds are interchangable except for the (Longhorn?) I was also wondering visually the differences. It seems the lines of the 68 and 72 are not quite the same over the wheels, Is this correct?... Pete
