I have found a truck that is owned by its third owner. He has had it for 40 years. He bought it from his dad and his dad bought it from a friend of his that bought it new. Here is the question, He says it is an original flatbed 3/4 ton, 8 lug wheels and only four wheels, not a dually. Has four speed in floor as it should I guess. I have never seen a 3/4 ton flatbed, is that the real deal? I may be the only person that has never seen one but I can get it at a good price just I am not sure he is correct although he seems to be a super nice guy and he is positive that it came from factory as a flatbed or stakebed as he calls it. He has had it painted three different times over the years and it appears to be in good shape. So, for all the experts out there, did Chevy make a 3/4 ton stakebed in 48 and would the VIN tell me anything??? thanks! slowgoer
