Hey guys I need some help. I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2wd short bed. A couple weeks back I had a minor accident and the passenger side of the bed got a nice size dent in it. Repair shop is quoting $2500 to repair that side of the bed and repaint it. I found a brand new take off bed from a silverado for sale. So my plans are to purchase a bed and repaint the whole truck my self since I am inclined. Probably do some ghost flames or stripes of some sort and still come out less than $2500.

I found a new bed from a 2006 Silverado. My question is does this bed interchange over? The bed looks very similar but I am unsure if they bolt up the same or if there are any other issues. I know the taillights are different and I know they interchange between the years but I would like to know if the beds are still the same. I just dont want to purchase the bed and get it painted and looking pretty then run into issues. Any help that you may offer me would be great. Thanks Josh
