truck box anyone know or tried??
Hey. I just got offered a deal on a mint ( or almost mint ) truck box. prob is, its from an 87 and my truck is an 86.Not a big deal, as I allready know it will fit. But, I am curious to know if anybody has tried cutting the 1/4 pannel flares off an 87 to 96 box and welded proper 86 quarters onto it? Would the lower body lines match up or not? As far as I know, the only real difference between the box years is the flair on the 87 up boxes and the tail gate latches being a lil different.
I know I probable sound nutz and all but if I go with the two tone paint job, that lips ( flair ) above the wheel sticks out like a sore thumb. If I keep the truck all one color, then its not so noticeable.
And 500 for the box, and another 100ish for new quarters and a bit of time changeing them, is alot cheaper than approx 1500 plus to rebuild my existing box.
I also posted this in the 86 truck fourm, hopeing for a quick answer.
