Any one noticed that the big windows were usually long beds?

I didn't notice that. Hmmm. -Doug

This is also a 3200 series as it's a long-bed. The side fender ornament is just an inaccurate add-on during the frame-off restore... Don't get me wrong... a nice touch, though.

maybe he found the trim I thru away in 1975 in the Medford Oregon dump.

Medford, Or???

I almost graduated high school there in '71. I left a few pieces of a 69 Z/28 there along with a Cameo bed.

My understanding is that 57 had 2 bed sizes on the 3100. 6-1/2, and 7 foot. The 7 used the long bed steps which this one does and was short behind the fenders as this one is. The 8 bed foot was long behind the fender and should have an extra stake pocket and should have been on a 3200.

yep, almost bought a GMC with the odd 7ft bed.

I have trouble with a guy using the word gorgeous to describe a truck for sale.
