Will a pick up box from a late 40's early 50's truck fit on a 42 1/2 pick up? Does any one know the difference between the two? Thanks

The Short Answer is yes.

The Long answer is:

The box off of an AD is a little bit wider than the ones off of the Art Decos, and the mounting is a little different, but you can do it without too much difficulty. You may have to custom cut some mounting blocks to make it fit.

Make sure that you get the short box, though. The long one (3/4 ton) won't work so hot unless you have a long wheelbase 1/2 ton.
