What years of Chevy truck beds interchange?

Chevrolet truck bed interchangeability depends heavily on the model (e.g., Silverado, Colorado, C/K series) and generation of the truck. There's no single answer. Even within the same model line, bed dimensions and mounting points can change significantly from year to year.

To determine if truck beds are interchangeable, you need to specify:

* The exact model of the truck (Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500HD, Colorado, etc.)

* The year of the donor truck (the truck you're taking the bed from).

* The year of the recipient truck (the truck you're putting the bed on).

Once you have this information, you can:

* Consult a parts catalog: Online parts catalogs (like those from GM or major parts suppliers) will usually show the bed dimensions and mounting points for specific years and models.

* Search online forums: Truck forums (dedicated to specific Chevy models) are great resources; experienced owners often discuss interchangeability issues.

* Check the mounting points: Physically comparing the mounting points of the beds is the most reliable method. Even if dimensions seem close, slight differences in mounting points can prevent a bed from fitting correctly.

In short, while *some* years might have interchangeable beds within a specific model and generation, it's not a given, and you need to do your research for specific years and models.
