Is there anyway to authenticate that a 58/59 truck was built at the factory with a fleetside bed?
Was the drivers side peep mirror included on fleetside trucks with the in-bed spare tire carrier?
There is a trim code in the color bulletin no31 page 5 - J or K for two tone paints. Is there any other?

That raises another question, what vin code would tell you if it was a fleetside?
I checked 3A-3L none came back as a fleetside. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 219 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 219 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | there is no VIN indication for fleet vs step, just the 31 and 32 difference ... the 'peep mirror' was an extra cost option
