    I like that truck - what solid looking machine!
    That long bed will grow on you - may even consider a side mount (although it was not available til 1953), but you will not need an indented fender.
    Enjoy that as a driver. This site holds a wealth of knowledge so all you need to do is ask.
    Cheers,

    WELCOME! That is a great looking truck, AND a 5 window! Nice!
    Seriously, a long bed looks pretty darn nice, and if you plan on using it as a truck, you can haul more stuff with the gate up, instead of down. (plywood, sheetrock, studs)

    That's a beautiful truck ol chebby I want mine that low.. thinking of making it 6 lug though so I have more rear axle options but not 100 % though sold I like driving it to much to shut her down to tear her apart til I'm ready to lay rocker
