49 Merc box

Hey everyone. So I have found a couple of long boxes off of a f100. One is an 8' and the other is a 9'. They seem to be around a 53. My question is what are the differences between the boxes for the half ton compared to the 1 ton? I have a 49 Merc M68. I am hoping I can use the f100 box and make it work fairly easily. Are the dimensions similar? Thanks again.
Zach

Size of truck boxes

Hey ZRAE - I think that the M68 (equivalent to F3) like we have has a longer box than the smaller half-ton, and I'm sure we'll get some expert advice on that question when some of the knowledgeable people around here jump in. In the meantime, here's an earlier thread that indicates there is a difference:
