Will a brand new 2013 take-off DRW bed fit an older chassis LMM?
I wouldnt think so, but thought i should check.

Question: LML DRW bed fit LMM?
- Thread starter ikeG
- Start date
Bet it won't as the frames are different as are the fuel tanks. Might be able to make it fit with some work.
It might, it might not.
The frames are of course completely different different LMM to LML, but the bodies are the same. So it would be cheaper for GM to design the 2011+ frame/chassis to have the same body mounts/positions as the 07-10 LMM's...that way they wouldnt have to redesign/retool the cabs and beds from 2010 to 2011.
Like I said, they might have changed them, but Id probably put a 75% sure "educated guess" that GM kept the beds the same LMM to LML (and therefore designed the 2011+ frame "around" the LMM body/bed to save costs).
Only way to know for sure tho is to go to a dealer and measure a new LML, and then measure an LMM....

Thats not a good way to check for fitment of things.
GM changes/supercedes part numbers all the time. Ive seen many parts get 4 or 5 (or more) new part numbers over time for no reason, when the part itself hasnt actually physically changed at all.

Never considered that. Good to know thanks.
What about part numbers for the flat bed replacement things of it fits both years.
