A month or so ago I picked up an 83 long bed truck for free. The lady just wanted it gone so I took it. Only catch is that it had no bed. The truck was bought by her husband just for its bed for his current truck. So here I sit, a truck with no bed. My father in law has a bed off a mid 90s truck. My question is a) will this bed bolt up to the 83 mounts, b) how bad are the body lines not going to match up, c) has anyone actually done this if it cant be done. I know that ill have to reqwire the tail lights. Im gonna put a rollpan on if it works, so im not worried about that.

 

I have seen it done and I personnally dont think the body lines line up very well at all. just my .02

 

i just picked up a 82 chevy and i am ripping off my long box next week and am going to make a flat bed for it

 

whar do u live i live in wisconsin u could have my bed i have no use for it

 

i dout it cuz 83 bolts frm the top n 90 bolts frm bottem.....so if ur good at moding go for it

 

The 90 model bed will not directly bolt up to the 83 frame because in 88 gm redesigned the frames moving the rails farther apart to allow the gas tank to be installed inside the frame. However 73-87 beds will.
