In Reply to: is a 56' ffpw bed the same as 65+sweptside? ntxt posted by Howard in Newcastle CA on Thursday, November 13, 2003 at 11:28AM :
FF PW beds are 8 foot all the way along, and while the judges are still out about when exactly the switch was made, most people agree 56 was the first year that PWs got flat top beds (though not all 56s have them).
If you have a flat topped 56 truck, then the 65 1/2 and up 8 foot bedsides are pretty much the same, though the holes for bed mouting are different, and would have to be filled, and new ones drilled.
There may be other differances, but I am not sure, I have not inspected these that closely.
Hope this info helps!
Eric
