2ND or 3RD GEN BED ON A 79-83

Anyone done this? Not sure if 84-88 would be easier? Or 89-95? I'm sure someone has, as many rusted out beds as there are on the first gens. Pics would be extremely helpful, measurements would be amazing. Thanks.

Well I found another thread, seems like they both bolt up with slight mods and the 3RD gen looks better.

there are tons of threads on this subject .. SEARCH

basically 79-95 beds are interchangable .. with some differances including bed lines, bed width , fuel filler mount , and bed mount . ALL can be modified if you want to

As said yes it can work I did a simple search here and on google. I found plenty of info . I find it amazing no matter how many forums I join ( which are well over 25 and under the same sn) so many people do not search. Just don't understand why. I for one love the linea on my 79 bed. I am looking into repairing the few small bad spots I have just so I can keep it
