This truck is a 1-ton dually, with a pickup style steel bed. The bed measures 9' L X 53" W inside. Has insets inside bed to accomodate duals. It has a '47 title, but '46 sheetmetal. Has been disassembled completly. Data plate missing, but may be in the parts boxes.
I had planned to cut the bed up to fit another truck I'm working on, but after getting it home, decided I'd like to know more about the truck, in case it was a low production run, and didn't want to cut up a truck that might be worth restoring. Some in the '47+ forums has suggested it might be a military surplus truck. That could sure make sense.

I hope I don't cause confusion by asking in both forums.
Thanks,
Cayoterun
