The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed long bed or short bed?

I've asked mar-k and they refered me back to the bolters for this information.I've had this 1938 3/4 ton truck since 1983.I did not have room for whole truck in the shop so I dismanteled the truck to keep the cab and sheetmetal in the shop.The homemade flatbed is long gone,I want a stepside anyway.The frame is sandblasted and hopefully I will paint it tomorrow afternoon.My question is do I need a long bed or short bed?My frame lenght is 176-1/2" not including the bumper horns,180-1/4" including the horns.I guess the bed is coming soon since the rear end that I got with the truck was not the original,it was welded just wherever the mounts touched the frame and it seemed to be junk anyway.I will use the bed/fenders to help place a new rear end in the proper place.Any info would be very appreciated.
