Will a bed from any year 99-08 bolt directly on to my frame, or do i have to get one from a 99-03? Reason i ask is mine is pretty beat up on the outside, and i have always wanted a dually so i was thinking of going to one of the local truck mod shops and seeing if they have an 08 bed that they would sell me.

Thanks, Austin

 

A new 08 bed will bolt on and line up there the same bed just different gate and lights. The new 08s however have 8 holes while your old bed has 6, all you have to do is drill two new holes its really no big deal. From what i remember those two holes go right where there is two rubber insulators the middle crossmeber sits on. Also save your wiring harness the 08 harness is different than ours.

 

On mine it bolted right up. without any problem. I didnt have to drill extra holes.

 

I put an 08 bed on an 06 at work and we didn't have to drill any holes for that one either.

The SRW 8' beds usually run around $1,000 and 99% of them are white. Dually beds will be harder to come by since fleets ordering those will just order a cab & chasis model.

 

Nope you wouldnt because you dont have a 99, they changed them from 6 hole to 8 hole in 01. Ive put a few beds on 99 trucks from newer trucks. If you look at a 99 with the orginal bed it with have 6 bolts.

 

Thanks guys that is what i needed to know. i think im gonna start socking away some parts for this little change over.
