First I'd like to thank those of you who answered my many questions this last week regarding these beds. I dragged two of them home and plan to combine the two and swap onto my wrong bed truck. The white one came from a 2x with 129" WB. Rusty one is for fenders and bed sides as it is set up for a 120" WB like my wrong bed truck. I'll have to fabricate a couple of the lower bed side extensions and one side is a bit bent but I think I can manage that.
I'll probably have a tailgate and some long 30" steps for sale when it's completed.
Oh and the white trailer has a 5 lug dana 60-2/3 4:11 posi under it. Not sure what year that trailer came from but I'll see what numbers I can get off the diff tag and post up. First project it to bolt that under my truck...
Looks like you should have enough there to put toghether a decent bed.
Do you have 4.11 gears in your truck now?
i have a disk brake d44 with 4/11 waiting to replace the factory closed knuckle front. Came from a 79 super cab with leafs and 5 lug. This all started in a search for a rear axle to match the front rather than rehearing my 9".

Looks like the Dana 60 is actually a 3:53 not a 411 as I hoped. That's ok though because it allows me to swap it now and match my existing gearing and match my front. He's a shot of the tag is anyone can help me confirm anything else from that. I'll see if I can get the numbers off the top of the tube later.
