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?

Where are you located?

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

Yes, but it would cost me 600$ just to get it here

old cars take money to repair properly. Get used to it.
