Now to work.

I discovered it was not exactly a bolt in swap. Several areas differ on the newer bed, but are easily fixable, especially if your a better welder than I am (almost anyone is)

First areas I discovered that were different were the fender mounting holes are all way different and the front side of the bed is shorter by a couple inches because of the different style steps.

Fenders first.
I measured (several times) on the old bed sides and marked a spot on the newer bed for the top center hole of a step fender.

I then mounted the fender with one bolt and used two scisor clamps at the front and rear lower corners of the fender. Basically I measure and eyeballed till I saw the fender was where it should be. Then I clamped it into place, and used a sharpie to mark the new hole positions.

I removed and drilled the new holes, then bolted on the fender (temporarily). I thought it came out good, so I then did the driver's side.

The last picture shows the difference in bed side lengths that has to be corrected
