Big window was an option and there are less of them
Try stovebolt.com or send me questions. I have alot of 59-9 data books on options and what would have been era correct. as ar a production number I can't help.

Are they stepsides or Fleetsides?
Personally if they're in more or less identical condition I'd save them both (eventually) unless you just can't - too many parts needed to make good trucks out of them.

hi there both stepside long bed with 6 hole axel

Generally, the big window trucks are least common and more popular. I imagine that parts are quite hard to find where you are. Do you need to use one truck for parts to fix the other?

i was thinking for parts but if i cut get shock absober brackets for the top in front and back . then i would fix both . this sounds funny but this parts a big problem . i cant find any . this is way i board this 2 truck

I know where there is a 56 3600 3/4 ton that is going to be stripped for parts soon, does anyone know if the upper shock mounts are the same as 59 3200 trucks? If so I could check to see if they are any good when I go there in about 2 weeks.
