I'm thinking no. Our first gens have the boxes mounted outside of the frame and the '94 and up trucks are on the inside of the frame. You're gonna have to bite the bullet for a new box. Not cheap either way you go. Geno's Garage has Borgeson reman'd boxes for $350. Not sure if it's any better having the Borgeson name on it or not.

Good to know. I wasn't trying to push the borgeson box, of course. Glad someone has had the experience to report back. Sorry to hear the money was wasted though.

My buddy has a borgeson box and isn't impressed with it. I've heard good things about redhead boxes (I think that's the name) and they are reasonable. This is also on my to do list
