today I went to Lowes, Home Depot, and Orschelns (local farm and home type) and looked at tool boxes. All of the 61 1/2" boxes I found measured at least 50 1/2" across the part that drops into the bed, which is 1/2" too wide.
Surely someone makes a narrower box.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
