If you are looking for bed parts for the truck in your gallery, you have a unique model. Your bed is the same design used from 1957-60. It was resurrected as a quick fix to the problem with the unibody design used from 61-63. Beginning in 64, a new bed matched the lines of the cab. This bed was also used on some 4x4s through 1965.

what i was thinking of doing, is sort of like a bed bob i guess... but not exactly like that, but basically cut off everything behind the last stake post on a donor bed, and cut it on my truck and weld... im not really wanting to do an entire bed swap right now cause other then some rust at the front... and no original tail gates... this bed is in good shape for a possible forrmer farmtruck or wood getter...

A bed swap is way way way easier then cutting off the end then welding on a fresh one. The bed is bolted to the frame by 6 or 8 bolts. It took less time for me to take the whole body off my frame then to do a simple corner patch on a door skin.
