Re: bed change

Have seen a couple of squares done this way . Even saw a 67-72 one time .

Did not like at all . Lines on our trucks do not coordinate with this type of mod. . Please spend your time & money on something else. !

Re: bed change

have not seen the "newer" but have seen plenty of the 90's fleet /steppers on 60-'2 to 80's... alot of the body lines match..
that's the important part......
you can always mod a bed to fit newer tailights if the beds arent a complete swap.. but that's difficult unless you are good at fabrication

Re: bed change

Why not just put a fleet bed on it and be done. Seems like your spending a lot of time to not gain a whole lot.
