whats so great with an 08 bed

[colinmitchell111]

heard lots of talk about guys wanting an 08 bed and turn signals. whats the difference between them and the 99-07 beds and turn signals. i know the tailgate has the super duty engraved and the step, but if it bolts to the old bed, why need a new one?

The reason I did a bed swap was because I had a blowout and damaged my bed. It was easy fixable but I would have been without my truck for at least a week. I wanted a 08 tailgate and tail lights already, so I just found a new take off, color even matched so I didn't have to paint. 6 hours later truck like new again. The box themselves are the same. Just different tailgate mount because of the spring assist and wiring harness is a little different.

There was nothing wrong with my old bed. I sold it for more than I gave for my 08 line x'ed bed, so I couldn't resist

ok i see so they are indentical except for the fact they are newer and thats why you guys want them... what about the tail lights are they the same as the old ones?

[fishingjred73]

No the taillights are different. They'll fit 1999-2008 but the backup light is on top instead of the bottom and they stick out from the body about 3/8".
