Bed side (stepside) differences? 55-70

My boys have 55 bed sides from their project and I'm thinking of using them on my 70 if they will work? does anyone know the differences between the two?

Thanks

They would be different where the step bolts up as well as the holes for the fender.

I'm thinking that the rear cross brace is different as well but not positive.

Thanks for the input. How about 63 bed sides?

Same differences. The beds them selves are the same dimensions, but the step mounts and the fender holes will be different between the various generations. Normally the tailight mounts are in a sligtly different position, as well as the mountil holes on the rear cross member differ slightly. They can be made to work though.
