Is a new bed gonna look stupid on my truck?

[McDizzle]

I have a white 2000 SD and my bed is all rusted out around the wheel wells and tail gate and i was looking at new 2011 white take off beds. What im wondering is will the white from a new bed match the white of my 12 year old truck? or will it not be to noticable........

Age of the paint will show

The wheel openings are also different.

Are the body lines the same on a 2000 as the 2011 for the SRW, it should
not look to bad. You may have to give your cab one hick of a wax job. LOL

Yea buff the crap out of it probably. That would be cool if it actually bolts up no prob cause then we have MANY more choices for our trucks.

the 2011 bed is different..

your truck needs the "classic" bed, 1999-2009

What exactly is different about the beds?

I need to look at pics more closely.. and I have seen more that 1 of the ugly 08-10 noses transplanted onto the older trucks... I think they lined up..... brb.....

Here it is.... it is the other end.... but the front bodylines seem to match up..... I would think the bed is the same. I know the older taillights fit in the 08-10 bed... a guy on Oilburners put the older tail lights in his 08.....

Ford changed the wheel arch for 2011.
