2004 Silverado 2500 bed interchange?
Hello Everyone,
I just purchased a Chevy Silverado 2500. It would be a longbed if it had a bed on it....
I have seen plenty of beds for sale that were left when someone installed a flatbed or service body. I did not expect it to be any trouble finding a decent replacement.
I was wrong.......
I have been online & on the phone all day. I am finding lots of Ford and Dodge beds and a few 2008-2014 Chevy beds. I am beginning to wonder if I can reasonably fit a 2008+ bed on my 2004 truck?
Is anyone here familiar enough with the mounting of the beds to tell me what would be involved with putting the 2008-2014 bed on my 2004 truck? Are the mounting holes the same? I found a 2009 that looks like it "should" fit but with $800 and a long drive at stake I would sure like to hear from folks that know more about this than I do...
Thanks.
