Working on a 1950 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup. Thought the bed to either be 8 feet or 9 feet long.

Getting ready to go pickup one and measure this old one it is 7'5 inches.

Is this still considered an 8 foot bed?

Thanks

yes, the 8' label is "nominal" - I think the actual inside bed measurements are 78", 87" or 108", and the 108" would be on a 1T chassis
