As Karl Wolf mentioned, they are the later pick-up boxes. I prefer the earlier ones that have a longer sector protruding out of the frame, gives more clearance when adding the wedge plate on tapered frames like the '32 - '34's. It also has a large nut and lock washer for the pitman arm...giving one a lot more choices when fitting. Great boxes....Robert

They are two different boxes. One is from a pick up and one is from a heavy truck. Both are F-100 era boxes. I am in the process of conveting a pick up box for use in a 32. I cut the mounting flange off and have made a new one to match the 32 frame. There is a lot of info on this on the HAMB. I have made a weld jig off a 32 box so I get everything positioned corrrectly.
