88/89 SWB Bed Floor in a 84 SWB Bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Am I mistaken that the bed floors are the same? Im in need of a good bed floor to build my stock floor raised bed floor as mine has been hacked up already. I found a very clean and solid 88/89 swb for $125. Thanks for the help.

They are not the same.

Thanks for the help. Man I wish I would have never hacked my bed up years ago.

I thought the only difference was the humps in the floor for the fuel fillers but I could be wrong.

Spacing of the 'ribs' is different.

My plan was to remove the bed floor from the 88 and install it on the 84 bed. I think they mount differently to the bed sides and it would probably be way more trouble than its worth as well as the fuel filler hump being a problem. It looks like I might have to build a custom sheetmetal bed floor or maybe a wood bed floor. Thanks to all that gave me some input.
