Re: Short or Long
It looks like a long bed frame to me.

Re: Short or Long
definitely a long bed. You can tell by the number of bed brackets on the frame behind the cab. That is the easiest way for me cause photos can distort proportions.

Re: Short or Long
Longbeds are approximately 56" cab to axle center. Shortbeds would be about 46".

Re: Short or Long
Thanx to everyone for thier help. im trying to get a short frame, a stepside bed and a 67 front end to bring this moster back to life. Its my uncles 70 he had since i could remember. He had a stroke in the process of restoring it and my cousin took over on it but could not store it with him, so he stored it at my aunts that recently had to move but could not take the truck. He posted it on FB to sell it, but i told him if its the truck i think it is i want it. To keep it in the family he gave it to me for free

Re: Short or Long
It sure looks to me like it is a NO BED frame! lol
Not only does it look like someone did a convert on the gas tank but also found the longest tailpipe that city, state had to offer! |
