About this time I discovered yet another difference I hadn't noticed before. The two mounts on the rear cross brace were different lengths. The newer bed is shorter. (first 2 pictures).
You could just replace the rear cross brace, but mine was shot to heck, so I decided to try and removed and swap the mounts from the old sill to the newer one.
Just drill out the old welds and mine came off with a slight tap of a cold chisel.
At least on mine, the top weld holes of both clamps were the same. I drilled out the center hole on the new bed sill and the old brackets and used a drill bit to ahold and allign it until I could clamp it into place. I kept the bit in until it was tacked in.
