I know they are different but I don't know why or what exactly is different other than the bed rail being slanted on the 53 and flat on the 54. My truck is a 54 and I have to rebuild the bed and I like the slanted bed rail look of the 47-53. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | you might get more response in the bed section forum to many hot rodders in this forum... I would think that you could do it though well for sure one can do about anything

If you get those parts along with the bedsides, you should be able to make it fit your '54.
