jjzepplin, thanks... the bed is a long bed, which is what I wanted to use. My original long bed had a lot of rust in it, so I sold it to a local rat rod guy. I found this bed on the local Craigslist, and it was on a farm truck that didn't see much road use. It was a really nice 60's bed, so the fenders were different. I sold the nice 60's steps and fenders and ended up only having 75 bucks in the bed after that. I welded in the holes from the 60's fenders, and marked/drilled the holes for my 57 fenders. I know it helped me in getting this bed cheap by it being a long bed, because everyone wants a short bed. I wanted to keep the long bed to use the truck, plus I think it looks good by being 4x4 and sitting higher with the long bed.
