That can be done, but the bed in the 1960 AMT kit is a little less than 1/8" shorter than the fleetside bed in the Revell kit. The frames are also different. No big deal but it would take a bit of fitting to make work. It would be cheaper if you could just find the 64 fleetside kit.

If you get a 65 stepside kit I'm pretty sure I have at least one spare fleetside bed from the 64 kit I could send you for the cost of shipping it. If interested send me a pm. The Revell 64 fleetside and 65 stepside kits are close to the same kit except for the bed, rear bumper, and I think the fleetside frame has different bumper brackets for the back.
