Nice set up. Looks great with the 89-91 nose, 8 lugs axles and hurricane style rims on it. There has been a few post on this site  about how the 88 and up stepside beds would look on our trucks. Now we have a picture to go by. Thanks for posting it. I myself like the looks. I have a 82 2W.D that needs a bed. This may be the way to go. Decent 73-87 stepside beds are getting hard to find.

i didnt think that style rear bumper would look good so i bought a roll pan, bent the 3inch pipes down behind it...also have a hitch to put on....the front bumper i just put on, i didnt like the grill guard and the old chrome bumper...ill post up some other pics, some might be muddy tho....

im going to scuff the bed and primer it in black primer within the next week, hopefully it looks better..if you lift the ged up further than the cab the bed fits better. the lines are a little closer.
