Any good guess what year and model bed this is. I am not sayin I am ready to swap mine out, but it does line up nicely...

PS: The bed is metal but the outer fenders are fiberglass.

That was a popular swap ten to fifteen years ago when a lot of guys wanted to have their old trucks look newer and different. It does make for a nice looking truck though.

it's one of the better looking new bed swaps i've seen
usually they just transplant the bed and call it a day
he did a lot of fab work on that bed, i can appreciate the work he did

he did that for the same reason i did mine

I know a couple of guys with these beds on their trucks. The blue and silver trucks are owned by the same guy.

This is another local guys truck and I like his mod on the step. It flows better than the stock version in my opinion.
