I take an 88 Chevy K1500 and I establish a great bargain on a rust free 8' replacement bed. I am thinking of bringing scrap 2x4s and a whole bunch of big tie down straps and wood clamps with me and flipping the new bed upside downwards, placing it on top of my existing bed padded by 2x4s, clamp the corners with big spiral forest clamps, and so run a bunch of long tie down straps around both beds. Has anyone done this before? It's an hour and a one-half from my business firm so I need to make certain the assembly is firmly together. I accept been looking for a reasonably priced rust free bed for this truck for ii years and finally found one
Thanks

Aye,that sounds fine.For more,you could get small scraps of 2x4 (2ft)and screw them upright thru your erstwhile bed to aid keep the new ane from sliding off.Sort of to peg it in place.Then youd but take to worry about clench down.

thats not a bad idea, you mean through the 6 pockets where my anchors are right now. The only problem is gonna be getting 4 of the vi anchors out, those things are probably seized in in that location. I volition try though, it'southward not like I have to worry about hurting the old bed

Can't film it.....but do those beds have tie-down loops in the lower corners that are used to secure straps, etc.?
If and so, y'all could flip the replacement bed upside down like you stated, then utilize ratchet straps to hook from one corner of the current bed to the reverse corner of the new bed.....practice this on all 4 corners and so that your straps make a large X (criss-crossing each other). That would hold it in place. Definitely utilise 2X4'south to 'absorber' betwixt the bed rail.

Why don't you but pull off your old bed and duct tape your taillight to the rear bumper and drive it there with out a bed? Get put the new bed on and toss in a few bolts and plug in the harness or put your taillight in the new bed.
