I've seen a pic or 2 on here of a 1st gen w/ a 2nd gen bed on it. Kinda weird looking. Seen a few on Flebay, CL and autotrader as well.
Seems like this comes up every few months... Looked gross then, looks gross now.

I would imagine it'd be lame, but the one that kills me more than anything is when they take a 68-72 Chevy or GMC pickup and put a 88-98 Chevy stepside bed on, here's a couple of other X-amples...

As for the international pic with the flareside bed as I was looking up pics lastnight I found that one, I think it should be the poster child for this topic.
Step side beds look pretty funky as they come from the factory anyway and a total waste of bed space.
By using a decent paint scheme and maybe striping you could make it visually blend together even if it was a total mismatch.

Is it just me, or is this truck a COMPLETE mutt? 68 fenders/marker lights, 68 or newer cab, 67 hood and grille, 90's stepside?
I think the stepside kinda works on this one. The only step sides I really like are the Little Red Express trucks though.
