anyone have pics? bed swap to 89-94

i just bought another 1985 pick up, and of coarse the bed is shot. i got a pretty sweet deal off a newer truck bed (89-94) i was told that its a pretty direct swap but fabbing would be no prob. i'm more curious if anyone here has done this before or might have some pics of the same situation.
thanks

I'm happy with mine. It is better than dealing with rust and cheaper than fiberglass. Go for it. Only people who can tell its not supposed to fit are on this forum. The rest of the population will never notice. I think mine will look better once I get real paint on it.

Sweet! A bit of advice, the front 6 bolts line up just rite, the back two are a little off. What I did was use a oversize wide washer and put everything together as normal but the washer goes on top side of the frame rail and it will grab the lip of the bed and hold it snug. Works like a charm. I had it flexed a little going up some curbs they hold real good. no squeaking either.

Have fun with it and post some pics befores and afters.
