Anyways, I know the frames are different, but here was my thought.
Switching out all the cross sills to the 54' spec. then just using the 47-53 bedsides, front panel and tailgate. The truck came with a "year correct" bed to replace the 73-87 bed which was on it... being a newb to the classic truck world... I missed this when I purchased the truck. The PO said it was a 54 bed... which it wasn't... it was the earlier version. Everything is in fairly decent shape metal-wise.... so I'd like to use it (as I'm on a very tight budget like most people).
Any tips/help would be appreciated!

So I would think it would be mostly a matter of mounting to the bed, it would need different blocking under it to make it sit level. I was thinking that from 1954-87 the bed box stayed the same, only the rear fenders changed.
