I saw one for sale in a shopping center parking lot. I crawled under it and it had the original riveted on center carrier bearing bracket/cross member. The transmission had the stubby, enclosed, u-joint setup. It had the 3/4 ton style leaf spring perches riveted on the frame. It had a 116" wheel base, with 8 lug split rims. It had a 228 GMC engine. I tried to go back to take pictures, but it was already gone. It did not have a bed. The frame was not shortened. Too bad I already have 3 trucks, or I would have bought it. I have to keep the first wife happy if I want to have a place to stay (and a place to keep all my crap).
