i would like to put an older chevy truck shortbed on my 1998 silverado z71 short bed fleet box...something form 1972-1985 stepside chevy ...i known they change the frame and so on ........

i am trying to save a few steps ,like best year to go for /weather i should buy a 8 foot and cut it down for the best fit or what ever ...........

You can easily mount a bed from a 66-72 with very little effort. Redrill for the bed bolt and probably rework the mounting plate for the bumper and you're in. I've seen several done and it looks pretty sweet.

thank you
 

i will start looking for one this week ,thanks agian :D
