Hello everyone...Does a short bed sweptline box bolt right onto a 1965 short box uteline frame? Are all 61-71 short boxes all the same(the boxes themselves)..I am looking at a 65 sb uteline truck and would like to replace the ute box with a sweptline box...I realize the taillights and tailgates differ but is that it? Also does anyone know where to get a sb sweptline box? Thanks for looking and the help..

No, no and no.

Welcome to the site. The wide box will bolt up to your frame.... however... you
might need to extend the tails of the frame by a few inches. In mid '65, the wide box changed
to a double wall construction and oval tail light lenses. Either variation will bolt to your frame
pretty easily. As far as finding a suitable candidate.... put an ad in the Parts Wanted section
and hit up a few of your local bone yards.
