  5. Not as short as on Kalija, the 1946 I used to run as a tow truck.

    I meant that originally that bed wasn't made for that truck. Something
    had been done to it. (IMO)

    Nice that you had a name for your truck!

  7. I think you're wrong. That year would've been made to military specs.

    If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
    to anything.

  8. George is correct. The bed is the original. I have a book on military
    vehicles and there are pictures of two different Dodge pickups, both
    with the same bed as the one in the photo.

    I stand (well, sit) corrected!

    Thanks for the input.

    And yes, they DIS come with that short box. Ours just had the last
    foot or so cut off to keep the towing load closer to the rear axle and
    allow a shorter turning radius with a tow.
