I am getting ready to buy a 83 D150 i believe. I plan on airbagging it and all that fun stuff. One main thing is i wanna upgrade the to the 5 x 5.5 bolt pattern. I looked around and it seems to me all i have to do is replace teh front rotors and hubs. On the rear i figure just change the rear end. Next thing is I am looking for replacement panels. I need the rear wheel arches but everyone that i have found stops at 1980. Have the beds changed from 1980 to 1983? Thanks in advance

For the rear swap, find an 80's ramcharger, they have the 5 x 5.5 pattern.
