3/4 ton, 6 ft bed?
 
I would like to know if GM ever made a short wheel base, 3/4 ton square body, fleet side pickup. I’m talking one with a 6 foot bed.

Thanks, didn’t think so, but never hurts to ask the question.

It is super easy to make one tho.

Out of curiosity did ford or dodge make a single cab short bed 3/4 in there comparable year trucks?

Seems like dodge made some crew cab short beds back in the 1960s (when it wasn't cool).

I have never ran across an older Dodge or ferd 3/4 ton with short bed. All my experience with the Dodges were in the military and they all had the 8 ft beds. Just didn't pay attention to the Ferds much, but pretty sure they did not.

Just for kicks, here's a 1/2 ton short bed that was converted to 3/4 ton. Was for sale a while back online and I saved the picture. Looks to be a nice clean build.

I just picked up an original '81 Dodge crew cab short bed 3/4 ton last week. Was originally an Air Force truck, then Forestry Service for a few years. Can't get pics to load. As far as I know GM and Ford never made a 3/4 ton short bed until the late '90s and then only with extended/crew cabs.

We used to burn up the Dodge 3/4-ton short box crew cab trucks while on SAC Alert - that was the 1980's so I know they made them then. Chevy was still all long boxes for the crew cabs.
