VIN check in his other thread.

I've linked him back to FSM showing 3200 as LWB truck. Parts books are available online to check availability of SWB parts for 32 series trucks if further confirmation is needed.

The 3200 designation is only for Long Bed, Its a 1/2 ton truck
3100 is a shorts bed 1/2 ton


Years would be 55, 56 or 57, only, the designation change to 32 instead of 3200 in 58 or 59

no 3200 in 55 1st orolder
