I'm new to the big bolt trucks so my questions may b dumb but was there a dually bed made for these trucks and if not can a 1/2 ton bed be modified to work? Next can 3/4 ton axles be put in if I can't make a bed work. Trying to slam this 2 ton monster. Thanks.

I have seen a few of the 41-46 1 1/2tons with a pickup type bed can't remember if they had the duals. Saw 1 38 at Macungie a couple of years ago couldn't determine if it was factory or modified. Haven't seen a task force or advance design that appeared to be factory pick up body

Chevrolet had three different pickup beds for the 55-59 Task Force trucks 78", 90" and 108". The 108" was only available on the 1-ton trucks with single wheels.

If you could find the 108" bed you could tub it out to fit the dual wheels.

Thanks for the help with the bed. Does anyone know what kind of transmission came in these trucks and how much trouble is it to put an engine out of a car to mount it to the manual trans that's in it.
