fenders are the same...I have an '85 and an '88 fender on my '91. The '91 grill will bolt right in place. My grill was busted, so I put a grill from my '88 on with some tweaks. great score on both trucks.

That's not what the guy told me that sold me the crew cab dually above. It must be the core support then, I know they are different for a Cummins...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

yes...the diesels have a different core support, but the rest of the sheet metal is the same.

yes...the diesels have a different core support, but the rest of the sheet metal is the same. Core supports on the 1989 to mid-1991 Cummins non-intercooled trucks are the same as gassers, the 91-1/2 and later intercooled trucks are different. Core supports '81-'85 are the same, from '86-'93 the headlights are in a slightly different location.

Love these things. My son acquired a '93 W250 extended cab last summer for $3500 During tear-down Coming along... That was a smokin' hot deal for a 4X4, and it looks great! in my opinion they look so much better without all that rubber trim!

A cherry picker seemed to work really well to pick up the bed, but it could use a slightly longer arm insert to increase the reach. Another 6-8 inches would've made the job go a lot faster... I was happy with how easy it was to move, it actually rolled around much easier than when loaded with an engine. People who buy welders should be subjected to an I.Q. test! This was a previous owner's attempt to fabricate a ball hitch mount in the bed.... That mess took about 2 hours to remove without damaging the frame, brake lines, wiring, fuel tank, etc. - but I was able to remove everything except some leftover steel plate welded along the length of one of the crossmembers. When you use a 1/2 ton bed on a 3/4 or 1-ton you need to remove these little spacers for clearance, there are 2 on each side. The heavier trucks have a slightly taller frame in these areas. A Sawzall made pretty quick work of them... Bed swap is complete! Next come the doors and fenders!

So I traded the leftovers for some other parts I needed - a nice gauge bezel, a DODGE RAM stamped tailgate and a left fender. When I saw the fender I asked where it came from, and it turns out it came from a truck that had belonged to an old guy I not only had known- but I bought a '66 Fury from him over 10 years ago! I was able to find a pic of the truck sitting at his house on Google Earth. It was also at this spot where I first met fellow Moparts member "mattsmopars", when he brought a friend there to look at possibly buying the engine from the 66 before I parted it out. Small world... It'll be kind of neat to use a piece of his truck in his memory.
