Nice looking truck. My 81 also had the front grill/bumper/etc replaced with an 84 when the original owner had a fender bender. What makes you think the bed is older, the gas filler? If I were to guess, yours may have been redone with a parts truck like mine was, but they left the drip rails off when it was repainted.
