I have a 1953 truck bed with 8 boards but I want it to match my 1950 truck . I have already bought 1950 9 bed boards from mar-km the metal strips 8 and angle strips 2 all new 1950 cross sills 4 that match holes for my new 1950 boards. I will reuse the front panel, side rails and tail gate from my 1953 box which all are the same part number as the 1950.The question is , will it work?
The reason I ask is the 1950 boards are 46 7/8 wide and the 1953 are 47 1-2. Will I have 5/8 inches to make up somehow or does the extra metal strip fill? But the strip is 1 1/2 inches wide then I would be 7/8 too wide. I’m I missing something
