The box we got was from a 1960 and we needed to fit it to our 63 (both LWB) I was once told by someone that a couple of the brackets won't line up but in reality, they all needed to be moved inwards. Not a huge deal though as it only took 20 minutes to drill out the spot welds so I could reuse the brackets. I'll just bolt them down in the correct loctions this time (truck won't be used for hauling anything) or should I weld them back in place?? All the cross members are solid with no rot at all so plenty of strong steel if welding IS required. Any and all input appreciated.

If it was me I would weld the brackets back on once you get the location nailed down. I am a worrier, though, and if I didn't weld them back on it would drive me nuts worrying about the bolts on the mounting brackets. I'm sure bolts would work okay, but welding them back on would make me more comfortable. That's my opinion anyways.
