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?

^ 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.

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!! :cool:

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

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.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
