Sweet Truck. You talking the groove around the wheel well when u say lower body groove? The groove closer to top of the bed looks the same to me.
Yes. the lower body grove is the one that goes around the wheel well in the 80-86 but it stops at the wheel well on the 87-97. The back of the bed(above taillights) is slightly rounder on a 87-97 bed than the 80-86 bed as well.

The top body grove(the one just below the door handle) is the same from 80-97. Thats why you can use a door from any year between 80-97

This is the only spot that makes the 87-96 tail lights stand out, when used in an 80-86 bed. Otherwise, they are a bolt-in swap.
One of my tail lights recently got broke, and the newer lights were the only thing I could get locally, new. Everything I found in a salvage yard was in worse shape than the 30 year old orginals.
You have to be real close to the lights to see the difference.
