anyone have pics? bed swap to 89-94

sexyfatkid · 10-26-2009, 09:11 PM

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

the 89 look like %$#@% on the 85. they do sell after market fenders for the 85 beds

sexyfatkid · 10-27-2009, 08:40 PM

by fenders, you mean bed sides? cuz i couldnt find except a bunch of overpriced fiberglass beds... got a link? p.s. i got the truck for 350, and the bed with tailgate for 250. looks arent priority i was just curious to see some pics. other ppl have to have done the same swap before.

not mine taken off the net.

it would look cool with tacoma fiberglass conversion front end.

Brownbagg, if you say there are aftermarket fenders, send a link.

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.

YES! you're right, you wouldnt even notice that driving down the street unless you are a toyota guy. thanks man. i'll post up pics when i get mine on.

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.
