From the pic your frame looks to be the same length as my 65 and 63. Every thing looks bigger on your pc and TV. Or what just cause your in Big Sky Country you think your truck is bigger too..

That only works in Texas

Was it a stake bed or flatbed from the factory. Maybe just an open frame order. Did it have a 9ft flareside box on it? Did you add the extra length yourself? Whats the story?
