It does need some rust repair....but it's still a short bed '62 !!!

Check it out !! (using my sons phone, it takes small crappy pics)

First thing I did, is put the rear springs back in (they were in the bed)

I wonder if the "L" is for Los Angeles. That's what it meant on the 59 and earlier trucks.

But you never know. My "Z" code on my 65 frame means Oakland but they were actually build in Fremont as I understand it.

Most of what I would need is available, or I would just make it myself....
