Can LWB trim be cut-down for SWB?

My 64 swb fleet has fenders and doors with trim holes but cab and bed dont.

I was going to have holes welded up, but found a guy with trim from a longbed.
Can the bed pcs be cut down to use on my swb bed?

Here’s a link that offers opinions and advice, along with several other links to more details. Perhaps there’s something in here that will help. I'm assuming the trim is stainless. Let me know if it's aluminum and I'll try to find something else:
