The width is the same, but the mounts are different in the front, and the back you will have to do some work to make the cab sit level by channeling the cab over the frame, and, or modifying the frame for the rear cab mounts. I haven't finished the back mounts yet. I still have to get the cab a little lower in the rear, and make the rear mounts. If I were to do it over again, I think I would change my mind, and shorten the 65 frame. I'm going to air bag it anyway, so converting it to leaf springs wouldn't matter. I'm always looking to do things different, and it always works out, but makes a lot more work for me.
