I got ?'s on late model beds on our trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How much work is there to putting one of these on a truck?Is the rear bumber in the same location as our stock style bumbers? The reason I ask is, I have a early classic hidden hitch and I wonder how that will come in to play. Will I still be able to use it.

I found a complete cherry box for $600 and I am really liking how some of these guys are making them look.

Thanks for any input.

NSANE68-
You got any pictures of your truck. Sounds really nice. What about the fuel door. Did you put the fuel tank in between the framerails and use the door that is there.

You can use a hidden hitch, I did. I do believe that I had to move it forward more than a stock bed. A blazer tank will fit between the frame rail also with the hitch. I don't think that you can use the stock filler hole on the newer bed because it is in front of the tire. Would take a LOOONG hose to reach. Plus blown rear tire might be bad.
