Before purchasing a used bed:
* Verify the bed length: 2001-2006 models came in different bed lengths (short, standard, long). You *must* match the length of your existing bed.
* Check for differences in body mounts: While generally compatible, very minor variations in body mounts might exist between model years or sub-models. Inspect the mounting points carefully to ensure a good fit. Small modifications may be necessary.
* Consider wheel well location: Wheel well placement can vary slightly, impacting the fit of certain aftermarket accessories.
It's best to find a used bed from a similar year and model to minimize potential fitment issues. Checking part numbers (if available) would provide the most definitive compatibility.
