Help:Have a Question

In the 48-54 chevy trucks, how many different bed lengths were offered? Was it just the long bed and the short or was there in between. I am planning on buying this truck that is not a long bed (I've seen beds longer) but I'm pretty sure I've seen shorter beds too. Help!

Someone else here will be able to give you more specifics but there were 3 bed lengths that I'm aware of. A short bed, long bed and a X-long bed available on the 3/4 ton and 1 ton versions.

Someone else can give the specific lengths...I asked this same question a while back.
