Hey guys,

I found a '99 bed for my truck in Alabama to replace the one on my truck. I have a '97. I am not sure about the body style and all (I know engines changed from 97 to 98 and then on) but will the bed still bolt up the same or will it require mods. Also the body lines looked the same in the pics so I think it will be the same there. BTW its a, what, a fleetside or flareside or whatever. Not a stepside.

I only have today to get it because i found it online and it expires and I want it really bad, I think.:icon_confused: Well, if it fits I do. You get the point.


I put the two pics on. Obviously the one w/ all the carnage is the one to be replaced. Think they match up?

will bolt right up. Just be sure to put your original wiring for the taillights back in.

Fleetside. Flareside and stepside are the same thing - the other kind.

This was also my first though. Fleetsides can also be called standard beds.
