Anyways, i was wondering, was this bed made for my truck, the 6400 2 ton? Just curious because i have not seen one around before. All i see with these trucks are the flatbeds and grain beds.Just tryin to find one.Thanks Dan | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | That looks like a 3800 series 1 ton to me. check out the links below, to the '50 model 1 ton I had. That's a 9 ft. 1 ton bed, in the photo you posted. There was never a '47-'54 1 1/2, or 2 ton pickup. However, there was a 1 1/2 ton pickup available through 1946. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Yep, that's my 1 ton with a 9' bed.

6100 and 1 ton pickups and cab/chassis used a 137" wheelbase.
No, you can't simply put a 1 ton bed on a 6400 truck, considerations are the extra 2 feet between cab and bed, fenders not fitting over the wheel or wheels, inside wheel may hit bed sides and running boards not lining up with the front fenders.

Those 1 1/2 ton pickups are so "RARE" it'd be a shame, (if you ever found one) to part it out, for just the bed swap. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 121 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 121 | Where can i find measurements of a 1 ton bed for a 6100? i want to lengthen one and do some custom work to make the running boards and fenders fit in as well as making the bed sit behind my 6400 cab nicely. it can be done.is wheelbase basically the width from wheel to wheel? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 474 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 474 | dantheman49-6400 Look at my photobucket pictures .I put a 8 foot bed on my 1953 4400 still working on the fenders . | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .
