Square with a 89-98 Bed



Its a poor picture, but the bed sits up a good 4" or more taller than the cab. I like the bumper though.

Ugliest thing ever, look they didnt even bother to try and modify it at all to line up with the cab at all.

Someone must have needed a bed fast but the color matches

Might as well put a dodge truck bed on.

Nooooooooooooooooo!

I'd rather hitch hike 10 miles with a Chevy hubcap under my arm than be seen driving anything that had Dodge on it.

Maybe the guy's waiting for enough time to add the '03 front clip, just happens to be blue as well...

I have replaced a few entire assemblies before. Pop the hood, remove radiator cap, drive old assembly away, drive new assembly under, reinstall radiator cap, close hood.

Re: Square with a 89-98 Bed

The bumper is custom, bed sucks, the stepside 88-98 aint too bad, but IMO fit better on the trucks the belong on, or maybe the older 67-72 style.

I think it looks horrible when someone puts the 88-98 stepside bed on any of the older trucks.
