1960-1962 vs 1963-1966 fleet side bed differences
What is different about the fleet side bed cross members from a 60-62 truck vs. a 63-66 truck? Most of the parts catalogs list them separately. I'm converting my 63 step side to fleet side and I'm not sure what year fleet side bed i have.

The location of the cross supports are different for one. The 66 I have has the early bed strips in it from Mar-K and some of the holes dont line up. When I redid the wood it took a bit to figure that out.

The frames are wider on 60-62. So the frame holes would be wider, especially the rear most one with angle perches. Goto faq section lots of info and threads on this.

Re: 1960-1962 vs 1963-1966 fleet side bed differences
the 63-66 frames are the same. the 60-62 are the same. I believe the 60-62 are 42" wide and the 63-66 are 34" wide, I will double check that tonight.
