79 with Early 80's bed
Not sure if this is the pic you are looking for but it might help you out anyway. I bought this truck with the bed already on it. I don't know to much about the install process but i can try to help if you have any questions

The color of the truck and the photo lighting is probably what makes the main difference. I think it still looks sweet.

the new flareside beds are less noticeable on the 4x4 dentsides than the 4x2, IMO.
