I founded out in the other forum that the beds are the same from 56-66 so the tailgate will be the same but will the cross sills be the same. I know that in 61 and 62 they are different because I think those years had leave springs and the frame was wider. I am thinking that will be the case with the older years also. A guy in town has a 56 bed he whats to sell.

Thanks

cross sills only vary in the bolt hole positions with respect to the frame, minor differences are easily adapted among the years, even the 50s vs 60's beds

Thanks bill I appreciate that, I have the ones that need to be adapted for my truck I was hoping these other ones would fit with out adapting. But he has a tailgate and the front part of the bed that I need so that is great. If they are in good enough shape there isn't much you can do about a bent tailgate.
