Bed Swap....with pics!

Hey everybody. Could I swap this bed......

onto my 86 frame? Will the bolts line up? Everything else isn't really a problem becuase the floor will be raised...but will it work with relative ease?

You know Allen D just talked about this a little while ago I would look at his site and posts and I believe it's there.

Thanks I'll go check that out. I love the body lines on the B Series pickups.

The body lines probably won't match up with your 86, but wuth some fab work anythings possible

All the bolts should be in the same spot and I am pretty sure the top body line will line up but the bottom one wont.

Well in 92 -93 the beds went from the first gen to the current style bed bodyso neither top or bottom line up.

I thought the top would be "close enough" to cut it by the cab and mold it gradually down to meet the cab top line and then my plan was to cut the bottom line on the box on the top curve and make it flat with the fuel door area to kinda smooth it into the cab.

I really like the area around the wheel on the B Series beds thats why I am considering this.

Thanks for y'alls input so far.
