Difference in bed '60 and '63
I have a '63 styleside wrongbed. It was hit on the passenger side right behind the wheel well and the PO slapped about a gallon of Bondo in there and called it good. I found a '60 styleside bed that the floor has been cut out of for a good price. The passenger side on it is strait. I've read that the bed was longer by about 3 inches between '60 and '63 but i'm not sure where it was lengthened at. Does anyone know? At any rate I imagine the area around the wheel well and a foot behind would be the same...
Thoughts?

between '60 and '63. 1957/60 F100: 110" wheelbase // 1961/66 F100: 114" wheelbase.
"Wrong" short Styleside bed: 1957/60 F100; 1961/65 F100 4WD; 1962/63 F100 2WD
Note: 1966 F100 4WD used the same Styleside beds as 1964/66 F100/250 2WD
In the 1957/60 forum, there's a thread w/a link to a short "wrong" bed for sale on craigslist, but there's no tailgate and it's located in Walla Walla WA

Is there a difference between styleside and flareside lengths? What about the tailgate? I have a tailgate for my 63 4x4 (flareside), will it fit my 64 4x4 ('wrong' styleside)?
What year/s tailgate will fit my 64?
Thanks
