Re: Is it possible?
Why do such a thing?
The body lines will not even remotely look good together. Anything is possible, but spend your time wisely and do something that will look good. The only different year beds that look good on these trucks are the 1988 and up short narrow beds. The body line match up pretty nicely, and the shape of the bed compliment the 67-72 shape. Go look at my pictures of my yellow 72 SNB in my picture album. Quote:

Re: Is it possible?
To answer the if question I think yes it will. I know you did not ask why so I say nothing there except to answer the one asked yes I think the bolt holes will line right up. If they don't they will be so amazingly close it will be possible for a little creative slotting to make everything go.

Re: Is it possible?
I have seen long fleetside square body beds on 67-72 trucks before. It is possible.

Anything's possible if you have you enough time and money.
