Anyone ever put a newer style box on their square?
 
I'm talking a box from an 88 or newer.

Ever been done? Or would they all look terribly misplaced on the back of a square?

People have put the step side beds on the squares but don't know that I have ever seen a fleetside on one.

Come to think of it I believe I seen that before on a short box.

I have a 8 foot box, it needs a large part of the rear passenger side quarter cut out and a new piece welded in (along with a small rust hole on each wheel well lip)

Weighing my options between getting it repaired or replacing the whole box.

it looks like crap, the right box is too easy to find to put an ugly new box on it!

So I just read in the archives that changing a bedside is pretty easy. I have a pick n pull very close to me and I say the chances of finding a good bedside is very high. The rest of the bos on my truck is pretty darn good and definitely worth keeping.

I just need to find out can you remove it without moving the bed back and apparently there's small tack welds at the end of the box you have to break/cut - well I won't have power tools with me so I have to find a way.
