I see Chevy made step side pickups with the 133 inch wheelbase. Must be around a nine foot bed I would think. That's way too long. It might be easy enough to shorten the frame and make a six foot bed C20. Or install a Packard or Buick straight 8 and a T bucket and drive it around like that.
My 1 ton does not have shocks...just leaf springs, but it is a GMC and I "think" they had more leaf springs than shocks. I have a 9 foot bed, which was for the 1 ton 133" WB, but I am thinking of using on my 1 ton, but not sure since I would have to widen it...I may build a flatbed instead.
