Hey guys, long time no post.
The bed on my truck is well, shot. I originally considered buying fiberglass panels and just fixing the outer shells, then I realized that the first 8 inches or so coming from the cab is completely gone. So gone that one mount isn't there anymore, so the bed literally jumps up and down when I am cruising on the highway, unless I put sandbags on the front corner, which slows the jumping down a little.
Anyway I found a guy who has a stepside bed from a 97 that is in perfect condition. My question is does anyone know if this will just drop and mount to my year truck? Also my truck bed is either a 6 or a 7 foot bed, so does that mean that the chassis is too long for the smaller stepside bed? (if my current one is a 7 foot)
Whats a fair price to ask for this? I've seen it on craigslist for about 6 months, every week now, asking $550. I was thinking considering the amount of time its been for sale that $350, and I pick up is a fair deal; seems how I have to paint, drive 90 miles, etc.
Thanks guys
Scott
