I have seen 89-95 beds bolt right up to not only a first gen-79-83 but also on a second gen 84-88.
Measure the distance between bed mounts and such.

That bed will have different body lines then your cab.

a 3rd gen bed actually lines up better as far as body lines...

It will fit, just make sure it is a different color than the cab, and get a topper that is a third color. Otherwise, it will look bad.
