Hi everyone! Is it possible to fit the split load bed sheet metal on a bay if you make it a little longer? Is it the same width? I’ve found a place that only have the older one, but i could easily lenghten it if it’s the same otherwise |

They are the same width, but the T2b bed is a bit longer, as you noticed. I suppose you could add a section (I would suggest one between the plates) to lengthen it.
Photos?

Ok, thanks. There was nothing left of the old bed so it would be great if i could fit the -67 bed. I live in Sweden |

old cars take money to repair properly. Get used to it. _________________ "Most people don't know what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it." - George Carlin |
