Re: need some help
Welcome to the board.
What year bed do you have? They are different for the years you posted, 50 to 55.1, 55.2 to 58. IMHO the later years would fit your donor frame better. Kim |

Re: need some help
This is a cool site, I thin it will help me alot with this project. The box I have is from a 1982 chevy short box step side. It should bolt to the frame.

Re: need some help
That box should work fine for the 55 to 59 trucks. You will need the fenders from those years. I'm not sure what the differences are with the pre 55 boxes.
I'm building a 57 so I'm partial to those years. Kim |
