Makes no sense.

well after lookin at your other pics it it the right front section of the frame but like was being said this could be a bed swap or they spliced the frame together some ware. if it is not spliced them my next guess is 4x4 frame and someone put a 2 wheel cross member in it as its real easy to do. the one thing that caught my eye was the bed is not centered to the axle which tells me that the frame has to be spliced. 6 lug front can be swaped out easy enough.

The Classic Industries Catalog shows the same bumper was used on step sides 60-66.

the bumpers change from 62-63 due to different frame width
the bolt centres on the inner bolts on a 62 rear bumper are 40". the bolt centres on a 63- should be about 32-34"
ron
doesn't matter whether stepside or not the frames are the same frame63-66

I can get all the measurements for you this evening.

**Clyde65** · 01-26-2011, 01:02 PM

Hey carnal, can you measure the rear of the frame from outside to outside?
I'm trying to figure out what year frame I have, fleet or step too.

Haha!!! Trying to figure out what brakets I need to get for my bumper.
The ones I ordered are 63-66 and they don't line up.
The bumper I bought is 60-66 Step Side.

**Clyde65** · 01-26-2011, 01:23 PM

What bumper brackets do you have Red? They are different for 60-62 and 63-66. look at LMC and it shows they are different.

Do I order 60-62? Or is my frame originally a fleet? Which if that's the case, I beleive the brackets AND the bumpers are different.

Hey Rex, how about measuring from outside to outside?

rahatawa · 01-26-2011, 01:40 PM

I can grab measurements off my 64 fleet for comparison if it would help. its original and might help decide what you have. just let me know.

That would help Drew, thanks.

**Clyde65** · 01-26-2011, 02:01 PM

Ok that helps alot. Maybe I just need to change brackets?

maynardtruckin · 01-26-2011, 03:15 PM

the out side frame measurements on the 63-66 should be about 34" and the 60-62 is close to 40"!

padresag · 01-26-2011, 03:25 PM

I think that you guys are all repeating which was said a few days ago

Yeah? well I have problems.

maynardtruckin · 01-26-2011, 03:29 PM

I would say so. you have a 60-62 bed on your 63-66 frame. All you need is the right bed braces.
