Will a 1982 Chevrolet Bed fit a 1974? It is a long bed with dual tanks i also have dual tanks but dont have the gas cap door... will this fit without mods?
also will the doors from 82 match up on 74 no mods? one last question can i have the complete 82 and the 74 can i put the 82 front end on my truck? any cutting involved?

hotrod73, where in oklahoma are you and is the 82 yours? or how much are you getting it for or whatever, i could use a new front clip for either/both of my trucks.. also the 82 bed should fit fine, as far as the doors they shoud line up, but may take a few minor mods to secure your filler hose so it doesnt move around when you try to fuel it... the 82 front clip would require a few mods to work on the 74.

Re: Please Help!

The bed bolts are different in the second position, you will have to drill them.
The filler necks will probably be a pain to connect and it won't be without some kind of modification
The doors will swap straight onto the '74.
'82 clip will go on the '74, but it will require cutting to make the hinges the recess into the cowl area work.
