will the 57-60 f 100 frame or 53-56 frame fit under a 63-64 f100? just wondering if the wheel base and cab mounts were the same.i have been looking around this site and found the cab interchange.
thanks keith

Keith. in 1964 Ford finally made a box that matched the cabs on Slicks. They had already spent the bank on unibodies, which, when loaded with pigs would not allow the doors to open. The difference in wheelbase from a longbox 1963 to a longbox 1964 is 8". your best bet would be to ggogle ford truck wheelbases. And best of luck.

The frame width of the 53 and up is the same as the slick, but I dont know how how adaptable it is for the change.

BTW Welcome to the site.
