Quick question if anybody can help

Will a long box from a 1985 gmc 1 ton truck fit a half ton truck? The same year and model? or would the cross members be different?

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Quick question if anybody can help

I have personaly played "swap the box" on many different square bodies, they're all the same 10/20/30 all have the same mounting holes in all the same places the frames just get progressively thicker on 20 and 30 models and frome the firewall back to the tail they have the same holes 2wd or 4wd
