I've got a 66 Short bed and the wheel well arch openings are rusted out and I cut the quaters out of a 65 Chevy Long bed and they are longer than the short bed openings.

the 66 is a shortbed fleetside? if it is a shortbed stepside i would not be surprised if it was different. if they are both fleetsides then that is news to me. but i would not be shocked that they are different, seems somewhat odd to me though.

I'm suprised - the diff in the long and short fleets is in the length in front of the whell wells, and the inner 'tubs' are the same for either length - sure look the same on all the various ones in the gallery, 65 or 66

My Short bed is a Fleetside. They are about a 1" or 2" longer than the shortbed opening. That is just something I learned today. I've got a 66 4WD I'm building/restoring. It might be a plus though because I want to run 33" Tires with no lift.
