Replacement beds?

Post by Niko617 »

Hello, I’m currently working on an old 79 j10 and was wondering, can I swap the old rusted rotted out bed for one off of a Comanche? It’s a long bed, just not sure if it would match up well enough?

Or does anyone know of an alternative 8’ bed that would fit onto a 79 j10?

Much appreciated!

First, welcome to the forum.

Next, they are entirely different. Not just body style, but every other dimension is also off. The Comanche is a mid size truck, a J-Truck is a full size. It would be like trying to put a Ranger bed onto an F150.

The only other option besides either a replacement J-Truck bed, or fixing yours (you can buy new bed sides), would be to go with a flat bed. Or, going with a step side bed. But 8ft step side beds are hard to come by.

Thanks for the welcome!

Is there any site known that I can find replacement parts to fix up the bed new, or old? Or a place that might sell kit beds that could work, or replications?
