History Who made it??? Mystery Pickup Truck Long Bed...

Hey guys, I found this old pickup long bed at an old lady's house about a month ago. It was buried almost to the stake bed pockets with gravel and potting soil and it used to be used as a flower box. Anyways, do you guys have any clue about what it fits? It's a long bed. I have searched and searched about what truck it went on but I have not come up with anything close. It looks similar to the stake pockets of my 1936 Dodge but I do not know for sure. Notice the middle tiny stake bed pocket... Any help with the identification of the bed would be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to rescue it from being buried in dirt for all these years. Here are some pictures..

 

I'll throw out a guess based on the steel floor and say Studebaker I ton.

Yep, Stude. M series

 

If its not a stude bed it may be a Plymouth like 36-39. My friend had one and the bed and pockets look really close

 

64-66 Long bed Ford pickup. HRP

 

Looks like it is worth saving, for sure. There are plenty of old farm trucks and work trucks around and not enough pickup beds. It wouldn't look that good if you planted floweres in it it Missouri.

 

Those stake pockets look like the ones on my Chevrolet��

 

HRP is close, but no cigar! The top rails are at an angle, showing it to be a 1959-style box.

 

That's '40s Mopar or Stude.

 

This old ad shows a 1936 dodge
1 3/4 ton express truck with a long bed. Stake pockets aren't correct but maybe yours is a later model?

 

I'm trusting the Stude man.

 

X2.....looks exactly like the bed on a '38 Chevy I had.

Definitely '40's or earlier.....

 

Voting Studebaker M series as well.

 

I have seen the same stake pockets on Dodge and Chevy, they must have been made by a 3rd party. The shape of the fender is not 36/37 dodge, doesn't look chevy either, stude must be it?

 

It's a STUDE M series!!!!

 

I bought an old trailer for the bed to put on my truck it is exactly like this one in your pics. It was complete and had tags on it from a tailer company. I have tried to find out what it was off of and could not find anything that looks the same. I assummed it was it's own make just made for a trailer company. I really like how it looks on my truck and not only are the stake pockets unique but the tubing on top is way smaller diameter than chevy. I never even thought about studebaker. does anyone have pics of one on a truck I'll try to post mine

 

trying a link I think it worked

 

I had a M series Stude and it is the same

 

And your trailer was a Studebaker too.
The OP's picture is most from a likely a one ton. Stude made M series in 1/2, 3/4, and one ton pickups.

 

Not a clue who made it, but I am diggin those hooks on the bed sides. I looked at a set of bed rails off a 69 Chevy yesterday my neighbor was scraping, but didn't like the look. Something like this might work real well on the ol 66 long bed. Good I.D work as always crew. ~sololobo~

 

Just to inform.....the hooks are aftermarket additions.

 

Yeah it looks like to me that it sure is a studebaker m series long bed. Thanks for all who helped out. Glad I saved it from turning into fertilizer for the plants. Haha

 

Looks like a 47-53 Chevy long bed, but missing a set of stake pockets. And the fender is wrong, and the middle stake pocket, and the steel floor. So I guess that means i am wrong. Stude it is..heh.

 

That looks to be as stated before me a 47-53 Chevy bed ive seen em before just dont recall what its called but they had an extra long bed i wanna say 10ft bed?

 

No, it is not a 47-53 Chevy long bed, its different. As stated before, it's a studebaker m-series 1 ton long bed.
