Please Identify

Tailgate says "Dodge" fenders look like mid 30s...hubs are 6 lug.
It's small.
METAL FLOOR. Looks original corrugated.
I'd say '35 Dodge but the beds shown online for '35 Dodge look like '35 IHC Beds. (Square bedrails).
This has round bedrails.
I'm a Dodge guy, too. About 1936-48 or so Dodge, Ply and Fargo pu beds are one length (78"). This bed is short.
Any ideas? Can you back it up with a picture?

Smog,
I'm not a Dodge expert, but the answer may be here-

Re: Please Identify

Thanks, Dean.
I think this could be a weird one.
It doesn't match any of the Mark beds. I've looked there lots of times.
Anybody else with an idea?
It kinda looks like my mid- thirties Chevy pickup beds but they didn't have metal floors.

Re: Please Identify

looks kinda like the bed that was on my 46 chevy. it had the same 4 stake pockets, could that tail gate have been a replacement for a damaged other brand?

Re: Please Identify

Studebaker used a floor similar to that. But the fenders look Dodge. A Hybrid maybe?

Re: Please Identify

Yes, Lloyd, you are right. It sure does look like Chevy.
Oldtech, I think you might have hit a home run. Studebaker used LOTS of different beds (I googled).
I don't see the bed in question but I think I see another bed I've ben trying to identify for years!
I tried to load the picture but the file is too big.

Re: Please Identify

Here is my other "mystery" bed. Oldtech made me consider Stude and it looks like a perfect match (once you remove the Dodge rear fenders I've bolted on).
Thanks for solving an old mystery oldtech!
I have a Stude bed picture but the file is too big.

Re: Please Identify

That one definitely looks Stude. Glad to be able to point you in the right direction. :m03104:

Re: Please Identify

Oldtech, you are two for two.
A quick check with my eyes and a tape measure I conclude that I now own TWO (30s/40s) Studebaker beds.
Stake pockets look identical, identical length 73" and width 47" with a 14" deep box (measured to the base of the slant boards).
Both beds have great corrugated metal floors.
Thanks!
