Here's the picture I think you're referring to:

That's a neat truck, Steve. I wonder if the designers at GM decided to
steal the idea when introducing the TF series? It looks almost
identical to a 58 Chevy from the front. Too bad there isn't a picture
of the later bed modification. I'll have to do a search and see if I
can find one.

Have you seen pictures of the Rod & Custom Dream Truck? It was built by
Spencer Murray in the 50's and then destroyed in a trailer accident late
50s or early 60s. The way this bed and fenders look brings that truck
to mind.

I've seen write ups on the truck, but most important is how the bed was
eventually modified in ways that resemble (at least in my memory) what
you are thinking about.

Hi Steve,
I don't even know if it would fit, as I haven't done measurements. I
kinda wonder if it's something that would look better in person than in
a mock-up Photoshop file. I don't know. I don't really want the truck
to look super-different or contrived, but different is ok.
Thanks for your comments!
