Fitting 2nd gen bed extender to 1st gen.

Can a 2nd gen bed extender be adapted to 1st gen? Is it is as simple as new mounts? Picked up a new Factory unit for a great price. Was going to just sell it but wonder if just swapping the mounting would allow it to work on my 1st gen DC.

Anyone done this?

Thanks

 

Anyone?

 

Why don't you just buy one thats made for a 1st gen?

 

Im sure it wont fit. The 2nd gen is way bigger. Would require cutting and fabbing just to get it to fit.

 

i am sure if you trim the tubes it will. i have a westin bed extender from my dad's f-250(free). had to cut and tweak a bit to fit. works great and looks awesome sprayed with bedliner

 

A second gen one poped up on my radar for really cheap so i had to ask if they were similar enough to give it a try.

Thank you for the help.

 

Can someone post pics of their bed extender (1st gen)? I have a bed extender that has no hardware,and i'm not sure of the mounting position,or style of hardware.
