58 box on a 70
i found a guy today cleaning out his yard full of trucks mostly 57-59 chevy trucks and a couple panel delivery vans. theres a 58 long box stepside with good fenders and a pretty solid box.i was thinking of getting the box to put on my 70 lwb. i think the old trucks were narrower so im not sure... im just wondering how much modifying would go into swapping the box.. its just a thought.??????????????????????????????

Re: 58 box on a 70
short stepsides were the same width and the same length back to about 55. The mounts in the rear vary by about 1".

Re: 58 box on a 70
The bed will work. Not sure about the fender/wheel alignment within the rear fenders. Your wheels may look off center with the fenders in the stock location. Everything else should match and bolt up fine.
