Gary Lewis Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Interesting. He's right, there is one bedside for 80 - 82, and another 83 - 86. And I don't know what the difference is. Something in the way the fuel filler or door mounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in the way the fuel filler or door mounts? Maybe the bedside has tooling specific to the strap vs cable tailgates? 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is fairly easy to adapt cables to an earlier bed, but not straps to a later bed. So you need to know which one that is. http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/beds-tailgates-and-components.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
