If the 2WD is a 60-62 the frame width is different.

Re: 1963 chevy s/b f/s 2wd to 4x4 frame

I would say that either the bed is from a '60-'62, or your frame is a '60-'62. An easy way to tell, is the 2wd '60-'62's had the torsion bar front suspension. If the bed mounting brackets on your 4x4 frame are wider than the holes in the bed, then your frame is a '60-'62.
