Bed Swap '50 for a '54

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has some information about mounting a box from a 1954 Chev to a 1950 frame. I prefer the look of the flat bed rails as apposed to the angled ones as such on the 1950 bed. The rear portion of the frames on the '54 and '50 are different. The frame curves up over the diff on the '50 and lies quite flat on the '54...so I know the floor will have to be raised. Can anyone help me with this?  

The '54 bed is deeper than the '50 bed. You will need to have some oak wood blocks to level the '54 bed on the early frame. You shouldn't have to raise the floor. Set the '54 bed assembly on your frame and have both the bed and the frame level Usually on jack stands with wood shims. Measure from the bottom of the bed to your frame and cross member. Cut white oak blocks and drill the centers for the mounting bolts. Yes, I know you can use square metal tubing for the blocks. The oak blocks are quieter when driving the truck on rough or uneven roads. By the way, if you use '46-'48 Ford tail lights, they will fit into the rear bed sill and give you a custom look. Yes, you will have to cut holes in the outer and inner sill to put them in.
Hope this helps,
