Re: Rare chassis cab truck...NEED INFO!
I did a quick search (on the net) and somebody comment this:
"A truck built as a chassis cab has a different frame than a pickup. A pickup bed won't fit on a chassis cab frame, and neither will 5th wheel rails."
And wikipedia says:
"A chassis cab or cab chassis is a body style, and type of vehicle construction, often found in medium duty truck commercial vehicles.
Instead of supplying the customer with a factory pre-assembled flatbed, cargo container, or other equipment - the customer is given the vehicle with just 'chassis' rails and a 'cab'. This allows the customer to assemble any desired aftermarket equipment; for instance, fire apparatus, an ambulance, or a recreational vehicle conversion package; which can be customised for the specific needs of the customer.
Aftermarket equippers, including coachbuilders, often make their own packages that can be ordered for the truck."

... so I'm not sure, maybe that's why there isn't a bed on it already.
It might be worth more money to somebody doing a special restore of some of the above mentioned vehicles.
I'm sure there's someone more knowledgeable here that can help explain further.
