Earlier Ranger topper fit on later?

[Skug67]

Hey all,
I have an 06 long bed. I have a chance to get a topper from another long bed Ranger. However, the Ranger with the topper us a 91. Are these interchangeable? Have the bed dimensions stayed the same throughout the years?
Thanks

Bed dimensions stayed the same.

The topper on my '85 is off of a 93-97.

yep, the only differences are the outside sheetmetal, the inside and stake pockets are all the same. the outside sheetmetal is a bit more puffed out (by 1 and a half inches or so) but everything else should line up. you can even direct bolt that 91 bed to your truck, even seen that in a junk yard. got a picture of it to lol.

And now boys and girls you can see why they made the axles wider on the later trucks...
