Can you put a 1988 Chevy truck bed on 1987 truck?

Yes, a 1988 Chevy truck bed *should* fit a 1987 Chevy truck, assuming they are the same model (e.g., C10, Silverado, etc.) and body style (regular cab, extended cab, etc.). The changes between model years for those trucks were usually relatively minor.

However, there's always a small chance of minor differences in mounting points or other details. It's best to double-check:

* Exact Models: Make absolutely sure both trucks are the same model and body style (e.g., both are C10 shortbeds). Differences in trim level are less likely to cause problems.

* Bed Length: Verify the bed lengths are identical (e.g., shortbed, longbed).

* Visual Inspection: Before committing to installation, compare the mounting points on both trucks. Minor adjustments might be needed.

If you find any discrepancies, you might need some fabrication or modification to make the swap work smoothly. It's generally a straightforward swap if the above points align.
