Pretty Rare flairside ?
I've never seen one of these in a 1/2 ton and I don't care if I ever see another one. but if this rust bucket really came with this box isn't it rare ? I've only seen a couple and they were 3/4 tons.

I knew exactly what truck this was before clicking the ad. I think it’s missing the title. It’s probably pretty rare.

Yes pretty rare.

Of course so are these, meaning a CC with a flairside bed is not a common one either.

But this is a 1/2 ton. does that mean the bed has been changed or is it really rare ?

It's ugly and who'd want it anyway I guess.

I think that the flairside '56 is a beautiful truck b/c the cab and bed are visually simpatico. No simpatico in this example.

Well radius arm suspension and an 8 lugger....so either the front outers and rear axle were changed or something is going on.

I've seen a Free Wheeling version of that truck with a short bed in person. 4x4 short bed flare side that was red with white graphic package.

It looked like this one.

Mostly government agencies and utility companies and railroads from what I remember. Those trucks were really made for work.
