Looks to be from a Task Force ('55-'59) 3200/3600 judging from the fenders and running boards. What's the length? That may pin it down a little closer, as there are two different lengths for the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton long beds, 90" for the early bed, 96" for the late bed.

Thanks guys. The bed measures 80" from end to end on the rail. Its sitting on a 52 half ton chevy over at least a 3/4 ton rear axle...what a mess!

They used those fenders from 55 all the way to 66 so it could be a 60-66 model bed, which is why it doesn't look right?

Bed length on a 60-66 is 78"

tinylevi is correct - that bed was used on trucks from late series 1955 through the 1966 Chevrolet trucks .
