Flat bed info???

I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this flat bed I have... I bought a 33 Chevy that at some point in it's life had the frame lengthened, and a long old Ford flat bed hung on the back for work in an orchard.... I have seen plenty of Ford beds, and this one seems a bit different... Most that I have seen that were factory beds had the FORD logo on the rear, but this one says FORD TRUCK on the back... I have never seen this before.... Am I crazy, or is this something different??? I want to sell the bed , but I want to know what to put in the add... Bed size is 6ft wide by just over 8ft long(100in)



A shot to give an idea of length...


Any help would be appreciated.....

it's not the correct one for an F-1, they are about 6' x 7'.......
i'm trying to sell one of those.
i'm actually looking for a longer one similiar to yours for my F-3 i'm building, how many inches wide is it exactly?
and of course were you located?

I want to say I read somewhere that the bed like you have is an older model ford bed, pre-'48 for sure.

I kind of figured... Someone once told me it was from a 47, but was not sure... The truck has been off the road since 1967, and the bed got a bit of use before that, so somewhere in the late 40's was my guess... I have seen a couple of early 40's beds, and the ones I have seen have exposed stake pockets, but I did not get a chance to see the tail end...
