Shortbeds?

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and just had a quick question. I'm looking to get an older ford pickup but I want a short bed. I'm wondering what models came in short bed? I'm interested in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive, years 1949-72. Aside from the unibodies and f100s, i'm not aware of any other shortbeds? Oh, I don't want a step side! Thanks.

I'd be interested, but if your truck is in Alaska, I don't think there would be any way to make it cost effective to ship, short of you dumping it for dirt cheap (which I'm not asking you to do).

The only 3/4 tons I know of with shortbeds were the crewcabs. Other than that you are correct, the F100's could be had with a shortbed, be it Uni or standard construction.

Is it two wheel drive or four? Running/non-running? Condition? Price? Can you attach some pics?

Short beds are tough to come by...besides, they look a little goofy.
