I'll be honest, those are recent pics sent to me from my grandmother I havent seen it in person in 15 years. I'll know friday when it gets to my house in Southern California, but I do not remember it being a long bed.

As far as the route with the truck I would like to go with a full Fuel Injected modernized pickup. Wanting to tub the rear end, on air-ride. Gonna be a loooong expensive project but worth every penny knowing where the truck came from. My grandfather (bump) gave it to me before he passed, I have the original bill of sale from 1967 when he purchased it for a whopping $25.00.
