1977 shortbed

Re: 1977 shortbed
It can be done, but the lines will not match up...at all. The later model beds are really round compared to our trucks. The bottom of the bed "curls" in more at the bottom too. They just don't match up well enough to justify the swap in my books.

Re: 1977 shortbed
X3. The 88-98 stepsides look good on the 67-72 trucks, but don't really work with the lines on the 73-87's in my opinion.

Re: 1977 shortbed
don't do it, the older style body lines look so much better
