The bedstrips were ordered with the truck in 1959. Only in Canada did GM offer the bedside stainless for the GMC trucks in 1959. Only 2697 GMC shortbox half ton trucks were made, and this production number included both stepside and Wideside versions making my truck extremely rare. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 38 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 38 | Congratulations, Darcy.
