Bed Swap

[Spectre45]

I have a 1999 chevy silverado 1500 with a long bed that needs replaced. Will a long bed from a 2004 silverado 1500 bolt right in and will the tail lights work with the wiring harness?

04 went to the squared off headlights and different tails. I would measure bolt locations and look at tail light connectors. It may swap.

Measure twice buy once!

^ haha soo very true. I'll be interested to see if it can swap over. I wouldn't bet all my money on it, that's quite a year gap. It'll be good to know though for the future.

Bed it identical. Your old harnesss and lights will go right in.

1999 was a split year. OBS vs. NBS.

 

Otherwise, if your on the correct "NBS" path, it will interchange. GMC's had a slightly different t/lamp socket than the Chevy's too. With a minor mod (via a razor blade) the t/lamps will ALL interchange!!

03+ tail lights plug right into 99-02 beds...

 

I also bet that its a direct swap.

Need the 03+ tail light harness or mod the 99-02 plugs

The 04 bed geometry is identical. The taillights interchange but have their own harness that plugs in under the bed in the center rear. I have 07 s in my 99. If you don't have the newer harness you need to notch the twist lock hole to use the older harness. I did that. 1 less bulb than the newer but insignificant small bulb

Can i swap out my '96 k1500 z71 bed for 06 seirra 1500 z71 bed? If not identical are they close enough to make work?

[davester]

Definitely not identical.  Body lines are noticeably different, would also expect the frame mounting points and the overall width and length to be at least a little different as well,

 

As for close enough to make work, that depends entirely on your fabbing skills and what you will find acceptable.

Would a 2015 Silverado bed fit a 2010 silverado

Question

Would a 99 Z71 long bed, fit on a 2000 Chevy Silverado long bed ?

[Rodney Rogers]

I have a 2000 gmc seirra 2500 4x4 8 foot bed will a 2014 bolt on

[davester]

No.
