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-

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.

Not Ford...Ford beds are heavily embossed on the sides..

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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!
