Bed floor question?????

[yellowGT]

Brother and I where discussing about using a bed floor from a 88-98 fleetside and using it on a shortwide 67-72. Is that possible? Has anyone tried it?

If you know how to do fabrication work, you can do most anything you want.

My question is "WHY?"
The originals are being repoped now.If you are looking for something custom I can see using a newer one but I doubt it will be much different than an original.
Or maybe you have the later bed and are looking for a cheap fix?

thinking cheap fix....

i do not see why not, you know how to weld, then you are set

i did this. you'll either have to add about 2in to each side or leave that much of the origenal bed there. i had an old 96 bed when i redid my first 72.

now would a bed floor from a square body work better? just asking!

i was also thinking the same thing for my lwb. but not sure about width, length and wheel well placement. maybe one day i remember ill do some measuring at the junkyard. " i go atleast once every two weeks if not more. me and my brother are rednecks and sometimes we go not even looking for anything inparticular . just "window shopping' hahaha
