up to 72 should work. I have one from a 67-72, but I doubt you want to drive to Florida for it.

Yup...the 53-56 fenders mount lower on the bed side than do the 57 and later. Other than that they're the same. I have one but the commute might be a killer...

That's good.

I would be interested in your wide bed. Send me some pics of condition and cost?

Thanks,
