Is your truck a 4x4, if so, then a 2WD box won't work, you need a 4x4 box.

Unless you know they will interchange, you need one from a 2wd pickup.

got one for a 78 caprice if you think it'll fit, can do it cheap too. I'm up in norfolk so prolly miles away from you.

if interested email me cliff@bigyellowtruck.co.uk

don't normally come on here so prolly wouldn't see a reply on here.
