The bed box is 1953-1972 Ford . The cab back is 1953-1956.

Like stated as far as the years, but the bed, cab and tailgate have all been narrowed.

I dont think so, the tail gates are only 50" to begin with

Here is Filthy's bedroom build thread:

If you use the back of a cab, I suggest making the back window a shelf.

Sweet, the only thing that bed room is missing now is a gas pump and a garage door.

Kevin, look at the distance between the first and last letters and the ends of the tailgate, where are the vertical bars in the tailgate? This has been shortened.

Here is a link to a new tailgate at mid-fifty for comparison. 1953-66 Ford F-100 Tailgate F-o-r-d Letters, Exact Of Original - 8340700

I also added a link to standard bed mattress widths. A twin bed is only 39" wide.

Pretty cool but I think it needs some air in the right rear.
