shortbed differences?

I'm looking to put a bed cap on my 98 and was wondering the differences in dimensions between a 2002 and up and my 98? And the tailgate 's are different dimensions, also? Thanks, Artie...

Wouldn't a 02+ be a 3rd gen? A good chunk of the ads I see are geared to the 1500 trucks, so they forget that 02 was still a 2nd gen in the 3/4 and 1-ton trucks.

Goos point. If it is a 2500, they would be the same, if they are using the 02 1500 I have no idea. I never even think about the half tons

Talking

not sure on dimensions but i do know that the 02 1500 is very diferent than than my 01 2500,i bought a used 02 1500{which is a 3rd gen style}box liner and it wouldnt fit on my 01 at all,as far as a canopy goes i dont think it would fit either as the 3rd gens have a more rounded look down the box rails,my dad has a 3rd gen and he had to put slits in his box rails{off his old 2nd gen}to maake them fit the rounded contour of the 3rd gen.

The different body styles won't match at all, but if they are the same body style it should work just fine.

I know the 2002 1500 will not fit on the 2nd Gens. My ladder rack that fit on my 00 1500 did not fit on my 02 1500. The rear side rails are narrower than the front rails buy 5-6in if I remember right.
