'56 ford bed???

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-Oct-02 AT 11:08 AM (EST)]Chewy,
You can download some catalogs at the Dennis Carpenter website and probably figure out what you have. They have some good illustrations included.
I'll make some assumptions and take a guess, just for fun!

Assuming it is a short bed from a '56 F-100, the most noticeable difference would be the top of the bed sides are angled at 45 degrees and not flat. I think that would limit it to 53-72. There are slight differences in fenders/locations with respect to runnnig board attachment within these years, but if it was on a '56, that should narrow that down also.

Good luck,
Kent
56 F-100
