What are differences between 63 & 64 short fleet frames if any??
I have a 63 cab and bed and contemplating putting them on a built 64 short chassis...

AS far as I know all 63/66 are the same step or fleet As long as you have same rear suspension and bed length ..... 4x2 VS 4x4 are different for suspension but not body

I could never find a good pic of the 63-64 chassis, most show strange chassis configurations that have rear horns or leaf springs or long chassis configurations that look unfamiliar and don't even think you can get a overall chassis rail length measurement. Most are a picture of a piece of paper on a table someone took a picture of. Best pics you can find are of the earlier X-Frames.

There is no difference at all.

Cab and bed mounts are the same. only difference i know of is rear panhard rod mount.

The '63 and '64 use the exact same long panhard bar. So the mount on the frame will also be the same. That changed in '65.
