You said it’s a cut down longbed? Can you post pictures of where the bedsides were cut?

I don’t see any evidence of where it was cut (that goes for the frame and the bedsides). When I get under it, I’ll probe around more and take some pics.

I ordered all the tune up parts between RockAuto and Monument.

One question: For the coil, do the parts distributors identify points as “breaker points” ? That seems to be how most of the coils were listed. I went with Blue Streak for the coil.

Also, not sure if this is recommended but for the carb rebuild kit I went with Standard Motor Products #1573A

breaker points or "ignition breaker points" is what they seem to call those, yes

I used that brand rebuild kit for my Quadrajet and had no problems with it.

A typical giveaway is most people that cut them down leave the center stake bed pockets. If there are 6 it’s a cut down longbed. If there are 4 (and no evidence of being worked on) then it’s probably a factory shortbed.

Also, you mentioned you bought this from a 80-year-old that doesn’t seem like the type of person to cut one down.

Until you prove to me otherwise, I’m thinking this is a factory short bed ha ha
