Someone brought me another jewel to work on
I need to confirm it’s a 49
3800
Single rear wheel
Step side box that dumps (well it doesn’t yet nor does it run)
Could you order a dumping box from the factory?
Thanks

Jack,
Got any pictures of it? I think it'll be helpful to identify it.

Now, there’s another jewel, alright !
I love the flared box sides.
The belt hydraulic pump is a real direct approach.
I wonder if the box was designed for sugar beets?

Sugar beets is a good guess
Can’t figure out where it’s from by markings on the door
I’m in northern Illinois
When I saw belt driven pump I thought aftermarket
Thought factory would be driven off trans

The belt driven pump with the big activation knob poking through the dash looks exactly like the one my 1948 3800 has. My dump box, however, is a single hoist and the box is ready made, completely, somewhere in the US I suppose. It was designed to have the stock fenders mounted on the aftermarket box. There is a manufactures tag on the outside LF corner of the all steel bed.
That's all for now and hope this helps somehow..

Second response:
The seller said some older Uncle had passed on and the 48 made it to him. His story, as told to him, was this PU was ordered with No bed and when it arrived in eastern MT, the rear fenders were strapped to the frame. The Chevy dealership installed the dump box on it. It was used for grain hauling.
That is all I know.

That is interesting
This box is 9’
Figured out it’s a local truck
MONROE CENTER IIL (as Illinois used to be abbreviated) so no sugar beets
Maybe used for ear corn?
Cool stuff!
