I don't recall off the top of my head how wide the fleetside bed is on the 66, but for my 68 I am building I used a widened step side bed and still had to cut out about 8 inches down the middle of the floor. Welded it up and the trimmed it to fit around the outside edges. By doing it that way I moved the fleetside inner wheel tubs inboard a bit creating more tire space. 1 day project to narrow it and weld it in place. Not too bad. Looks pretty good too.
