1st gen cab with 2nd gen bed

I have never had a 1st gen but the other day I saw a 92 or 93 white truck with a 2nd gen style dually bed on it. was a old man didnt get a chance to stop and talk to him. didnt think the bed line would match up but it looked pretty cool. anyone ever done this. have to ask him if I see him again.

The credit union where I bank had a 92 that they repo'ed with a 2nd gen dually bed on it. It looked like... Well it looked like it didn't belong there.

Yeah, I've seen one with the 2nd gen bed and I thought it looked bad. I think an old Chevy or Ford bed would look better, at least they match the boxy cab somewhat.

There was a truck for sale on here maybe a year ago, Blue 1st gen with a Red 2nd gen bed. HORRIBLE!!!!!!

Can't find a nice box, build a flatbed. IMO.

Yeah, last night I saw one here at UW-Platteville with a late model F-250 bed. Someone went through the trouble to color-match it perfectly too. It would have looked better with no bed at all.

I saw one like that with a newer step side. The only trucks that get away with that are the newer 99-06 chevys and the ?90-98?
