Several people have asked about the four (4) bolts in the left rear of the bed. These used to attach a tray that a 5-gallon GI-type metal gas can would set in. There were two of these trays, one on each side of the bed. This extra 10 gallons really extended the trucks range. Gas was cheaper, like it still is now, in the Phoenix area than in the surrounding towns and cities. There was a board between the tray and bed so as not to damage the bed. Actually, the entire bed has always been protected my a sheet of plywood. That is one of the reasons that the bed is in such good shape except for rubbing wear.
