I found here local the bed off of a 2015 model Silverado...... it appears the body lines on the newest Gm trucks are very similar to the old squares, any thoughts on this? I can get a good deal on this bed and if would work i think it would be a awesome swap.

The new trucks are so different from the squarebody that the swap would look hideous in my opinion

I agree for the most part, just seen the bed and the body liens look very similar, wondering if anyone had seen anything of the sort. 99.99% of the time bed swaps don't end well......
