Question 89-93 Dodge Ram Bed Canopys.....need some ideas

Ok, I will be moving soon in the early Spring and looking to put a canopy on my 93' Ram. What are the exact factory measurements for the bed rails (width/length)? I measured mine today and came close to 98" long and 71" wide.......am I close to what the factory advertises for dimensions? My other question is if the 89-93 Dodge pickup beds have the same or very close dimensions compared to other brand pickups (Chevy, Ford, etc)? If so, what years? I will probably go shopping for a "used" canopy soon and would like to know what I should be looking for compatability-wise. Thanks

'87 and older Chebbys use the same shells as '72-'93 Dodges if that helps.

Interesting info about canopy compatability........in a nut shell: Most wing-window full size pickups will work It's good to know that I have some variety to search from.
