Hi everyone.
Like most, my Stovebolt shoelace is pretty short. My question is; will a 54 longbed fit on the frame of a 46 3/4T? I know the finders and running boarcs are wrong, but will the bed heigth and with be a problem? My loaner parts are coming from a truck bed trailer, so I will have all the "little parts" I should need.
Thanks.

I guess it depends what your definition of 'fit' is. Besides the little problems of nothing lining up and the 54 bed being a few inches longer, you will have to raise the 54 bed about 2" higher to clear the frame over the axle.

You can make it "fit", but in my opinion it won't ever look right.
