3rd gen bed onto 2nd gen
Hey guys i have a 92 Ext cab shortbox truck, and my brother has a 95 stepside that he is parting, the bed is in near mint condition, mine definately needs some work. I was wondering if anyone has done this swap? Dimension wise they look very close. I'm interested in doing the bed swap and the Perrys F&F 2000 Conversion. Anyone know if this is pretty much a bolt in deal? Thoughts? Thanks

damn, that was fast. body lines i could really care less about..they're gonna look tweaked anyhow with the fiberglass fenders, so i'll probably just leave the body lines. maybe i'll shave em if i get ambitous enough. lol. i was more concerned about whether or not the bed would hit the cab. thanks alot guys

found a pic , finally. i think it looks ok on the 2nd gens..not the greatest but i plan on doing the front clip update and i think it should look great after that and paint. i did end up picking up the box, and i'll be tearing mine off soon, but i think i might wait until i am ready to throw my 63" leafs in as well, and do everything all in one shot. the leafs are off of a 2500 diesel, 4 leaf pack but i have been told they sag a little..i'm going to throw a belltech chevy lowering shackle set in there as well, take out the factory lift blocks and see where i end up. if im not happy where it sits, i'll throw the blocks back in..but i don't see that happening. need some levelling coils soon too. money, money, money ..lol

I'd like to switch my front end, but too much money into that. If it ever gets wrecked, then I will. I hope It doesnt though.

So here it is...a little trial fit. I still need to paint it flat black or something low-key for the time being so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I just need taillights and then I'll throw the thing on. For now, Im just driving around boxless.
Side note...Got tires put on this thing a couple months ago. Wanted 215 75 15s, just noticed yesterday it had 215 75s on the left and 225 70s on the right...was effin pissed. it's all good now though, just lucky i didn't grenade a diff or a transfer case. I hate Canadian Tire.
Let me know how you think it looks.
