As Walston stated, the '57-'60 will be no problem what so ever for swapping between them.
But It looks as if you might be queerying in a slightly different direction, such as a later model chassis & not the original from the '50s.

The '60s through early '70s, maybe, I know the same Bed was used for most of all those years, as I reccollect.

thanks for the info guys, sorry i took so long to reply, im still very new to this forum stuff, not to mention the time difference in Australia and your right im looking at a later model chassis, unless i can find one from 57-60 .

Which could be pretty hard to find, its the first 58 ive seen down under it has no box so i was considering a flat bed with stake side again not many boxes around from those years,and just to be different , i havent seen many pictures of stake sides on the net . i will have to check out whats around with my old hot roddin buddies .

ill keep you all posted with what i turn up.
