I know the 2600i has a different hood and I thought I remember reading somewhere that the earlier 4x4's had slightly different metal than the later ones. Anybody have a definitive answer?

I read somewhere that 86-87 4x4's had 2wd metal with plastic fender flares...

bubble hoods came on both the b26k and b22k FI models....the plastic/rubber-trim/flares were optional, I won't swear that the early 86-87's weren't just 2wd with flares, but the 88-93 sheet metal is all the same...

I've got a 1993 B2200 EFI but it doesn't have a bubble hood. Now it may not be original cause i think it has repainted at one time, but if it is supposed to have one, i'm pissed because i wanted a bubble hood.

My front fenders came off of a 87 4x4 and they are the same as the 88-93. I know that some came with a plastic flare, but it just screwed into the fender on the inner lip. They should all fit on 87-93 trucks. And look better than the 2wd IMO. -Ed
