never heard of it,but I don't think it would look right,body lines are all wrong even if you could fabricate it to work.

I'd try to find a 92-96 bed and make it easy on yourself. You might find a Flareside through the wrecking yards.

thx for reply, i am in MO,i dont realy like the looks of the 87-96 flairside beds
if i was going to replace with stock i would just keep a styleside short bed,anybody got a good one resonable ????? which is what i am probably going to do
i was just wondering what the newer style would look like
thx noel
