Fleetside bed front panel differences?
 

I am replacing the front bed panel in my fleetside bed. I bought this bed several years ago and knew it would need this, finally using it. I don't know what year the bed is, but I believe it to be at least an '81, and I vaguely remember being told it is an '85. While looking up a replacement front panel, the year breakdown for them everywhere is 1973-84 and then 1985-87. Anyone know what the differences might be?

For example - 1973-84

pictures in catalog usually don't show the different front panels. The difference is in the detailing of the ridges or contour. I have a 75 bought and 80's bed havent made a decision on to buy a 75 panel or use the 80's

Ok so just minor cosmetic differences for 1985-87?

I was hoping to learn something about it. I can't think of any difference.

I wont be out where my truck is located until Sunday at the earliest. If I do get a chance to go I will take a picture of the two panels.
