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!
