Post short fleet bed ?

I just purchased a 67 short fleet bed from my local yard, and the floor is very decent. So I plan on putting 72 sides on it, im pretty sure the only difference in the sides are the side markers, so the 72 sides should bolt directly to the 67 floor. Can anyone confirm this, am I correct?
Thanks,
Keith

Keith, it's a bolt up --except-- why is there always an "except"? You have a couple of welds to cut through and redo where the floor sits on the rear bed support and intersects with the vertical rear quarter supports. I suspect the plant did this to ensure the parts pieces would stay in alignment from the jig to the frame. Good luck---Huck
