The body fits great.Manfighter16 | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | The rear part of the frame changed in 1954 from previous models due to the new box design. The kickup over the rear axle was reduced eliminating the wood blocks and the box was a little deeper with flat top rails. The only complication should be the right thickness of blocks to make it look right and match up with the splash aprons. Maybe somebody that has done it will chime in. Good luck.

You may also have to change the side splash aprons between the bed and the running board to the 54-55.1 model to have it connect properly to the running boards. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 27 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: May 2005 Posts: 27 | Thanks guys, I think I'll just put the box together and check the spacing.
