63 D200 Bed question
63 D200 Bed question
I am currently looking to purchase a 1963 D200 and came across one that has a bed I do not recognize from other 63 step side photos. I was hoping someone here could give me more details about this bed style? It looks like it has a smaller wheel well than most 63 photos I've seen.

Re: 63 D200 Bed question
Someone has seriously modified an original bed. The stake pocket is gone above the fender and that fender was never used on a sweptline bed like that. It looks a lot like a 9' dually bed that was cut down, the dually fender extension removed and the step shortened. If so, that's a huge shame as the 9' dually bed is hard to find and sells north of $2k.

I think it's a civilian FFPW bed from the late 50's/60's.

That was my take but I wasn't sure enough to say so.
