Bed Swap

Does anybody know if the '61-'63 shortbed box is the same as a '57-'60? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, I left that out. Its the wrongbed. I won't be able to get by there to take measurements until tomorrow afternoon. After looking at some pictures of both, it appears that the '61-'63 bedsides are taller. I hope not, because it is a great deal. Thanks again. Wade

I have two long wrong styleside beds. Ill measure up to see if there is any dif when I get home from work tonight. One is from a 63 the other is from a 59 I believe just from working on them I dont think there is any difference in the appearance of the beds and bed sides. The difference may come in under the bed. Ill post up what I find.
