The hump over the rear wheels (frame) is more pronounced on the 53. Your bed won't fit without pretty major modification. Use your 55 springs and rear end and it will bolt right up but not sure about driveshaft fitment after. Should be okay.

Honestly, I would fix the frame you have if at all possible. The bed work alone would be enough to balance most frame repair work. What is wrong with the frame?
