That depends on what 14 bolt you get. 88-98 body that matches yours, they are the same. 73-91 box body, no.

would be getting a 73-91 style

Yeah the 88-98s have wider frames for crash protection and to get the fuel tank tucked in between them, so the perches would have to be moved.

I've either carefully cut the welds with a cutoff wheel or blew them off with a torch to save and re-weld, or blew them away and just welded new ones on when I fabricate trailers.
