Should have known when I sanded the outside down and the paint under the top coat didn't match the cab. It appears to be a 60-62 bed. from what I have read on here the bedsides are different than the 63-66 beds. meaning the two will swap out but the older beds will not align with the cab exactly. Now I am getting creative to make it work.. It never ends..
I know the feeling Scott about thinking one thing and finding out differently....I found out the one of my front fenders was from a 63....emblems mounting holes filled with my favorite bondo gave it away. One thing is for sure...once you get done it will be right.....
