I can't say with 100% conviction, but I'm pretty sure that the truck left the factory with a long leaf yellow pine deck that was nine boards wide. Over the course of time it's not uncommon for a couple of them to swell and buckle upwards because the stringers usually prevented them from buckling down. Some previous owner may have put a steel deck on it because it was easier than replacing the wood.
