This weekend i hauled home this KD series truck

I entered the vin code in the Stovebolt vin decoder and it says shes a 3/4 t with a 123.5 wheelbase

Picture


However i measured her wheelbase and i got 112. Still fuzzy on that. Im thinking i got a longbox bed.

Meanwhile i tried web browsing for more info on KD and found willian Schicklings 1940 web page

http://home.roadrunner.com/~schickling/1940Chevy/40page.html

Still trying to put things together.

The funny story behind this truck is i found fenders from a guy building a drag truck first. Which included a running 216. I searched forba cab to go with the fenders and got thevabove. I think i might be able to put both together and have sonething decent.

Thanks again for allowing me in the room

Did you measure the wheelbase from center to center? The box has 2 stake pockets and looks like a longbed, so I'm confused how it can be the short wheelbase. Unless the wheels are way forward in the rear fenders. headscratch

Hopefully you figure it out.
