mounting a '55 short step side box on a '67 short frame
 
Thought this would be a bolt on but of course it's not. Anyone done this before?

A buddy of mine has just what you want to do. He bought it that way but next time I'm over there I'll look into it for you.

Edit: Also, welcome to the board from Des Moines!

Is the frame a different width? If it is you could re drill the braces and rework the mounts. The bed should fit fine cosmetically.

My first thought was the rear mounting holes in the cross sill of the bed were a little to far rear of the matching holes in the frame. Seemed like I needed to add on to the frame. My cab is not on the frame though so I need to take some measurements from that latter today to compare. The picture was helpful though. At least I know it's been done and looks OK. Thank you.
