I would look for a square body truck in a parking lot and park next to it to do a side by side comparison.
I remember years ago when I worked at a 4x4 shop and sold bedrails that the 73 and up rails would not fit right on our trucks...
I don't think that will be an issue in my particular situation. I'm only concerned with the distance between the stakepocket holes dimension.
