Size will be the same but mounts may be different on the different years of the deluxe beds.

Yea, probally different mounts, but I just like these beds more. I dont want to have to drill to mount it . I dont think lol. Has anyone tried this?

As long as it is a 6' bed it will work. The bed mounts are basically located in the same place, however they aren't exact. The '79 bed I put on my Dad's '86 farm truck left a gap of about an 1" between the cab and bed.

Gap from a distance.

I wanted to pull the bed off and elongate the holes to reduce the gap, but my Dad said he didn't care, so we left the bed as it sat..
