The newer bed's body lines, or lack there of,and the overall entire shape of the bed is WAY to rounded. There just isn't real hard or sharp lines on it like on a square. I have to agree that it would look out of place.

Agreed!!
IMO any truck with an other year bed looks horrable. I know alot of guys put 88-98 sportside beds on 67-72s and 73-87s but sorry, hate it.:yucky:

Maybe with a 2-tone paint job, or a penstripe that follows the bodyline it wouldnt look too awful bad. Most trucks I've seen that do the newer bed on the older truck have just been clapped out pieces of **** work trucks and it just didnt matter what it looked like as long as your tools/equipment dont fall through the floor onto the ground lol.
