i have a 1993 reg cab short bed s10 with a rotted bed. will a bed from a 1994 (differnet body style) reg cab short bed fit and bolt on? the 94 bed is also a stepside (alot sportier)thanks
The only way you will be able to tell is to get out the trusty ole tape measure, and measure between the center of the bolt to the center of the other bolt, and see if they are the same. Do this in both directions to make sure they are the same. The other guy is correct in saying to pay attention to your where the fuel filler neck is, and if its the same. Also check the distance from where it bolts to the frame to the cab, to make sure the new one won't hit the cab. Remember to un-plug your tail light harness before you move the bed. Also; The bolts that hold it down, you need to spray some rust inhibitor type lubricant on the bolts, and let it sit over night. Spray them about 3-4 times. Use a Torx type bit that fits tight, even if you have to use a hammer to tap it all the way down. Clean the holes out before you do this. Use an impact wrench and keep your rig as short as you can, as in no extensions. Now, put a lot of your weight on the impact wrench, keep it straight, and lay down on the trigger. This should bring them out. You only have one shot at getting them out without stripping them out, so if you do it this way, they should come right out. Glad I could Help. Good Luck!!!
I'm guessing that this would work,providing your gas tank and filler spout are in the same location on both beds.Crawl underneath,make sure the mounting bolts are in the same locations,go from there.Good luck.
I can only think it is a major project given the fact its two very different vehicles and all the body mounts would have to be custom made along with many other issues such as steering mechanisms, wiring, etc. Sounds like a real project! Expensive at that!
