My father just got a 54 Chevy 3800 and the cab was just painted but the bed did not come with it. So what I am trying to do for him is get him a bed. I know the bed will only work for 1954 and only a few months into 1955. I think the bed is a 9 footer. When we measure the frame from the cab it is about 8 feet and that is to long to be the 6+ foot bed. Thanks for any help on this. I am just having a hard time trying to find this part since it seems like there are a lot of 3100 on the market but not 3800. Thanks

My father just bought a 1941 Dodge 1 ton stake bed truck today that was a farm truck that sat for a long time. When the truck was parked about 12 years ago it ran but now the engine will not turn over. I have not pulled it out of the truck as of yet but if the weather is nice that is what is going to be done next weekend. Since my father is not very Internet savvy I am trying to help him out. What I am trying to do is find some tips in getting this engine loosened up and I need some help on getting parts. Over all the truck is in great shape. We do need to replace the driver side door that does have a bit if rust through on the inside and out and we are thinking getting a clean door is the best idea right now then taking a chance that we could have missed some rust. Other then that the chrome and all other body panel are in good shape. Once I get a running motor back into it and get a paint job on it will look great. For just a $1000 buy I think we have a great deal going with how good the body is expect for the one door. This is the over all parts that we know we need. Driver sides Door Some who can rebuild the speedometer or we need a new one Maybe a new motor or just a rebuilt kit for it Brake Lines Wire Harness OEM tires OEM looking shocks New bench seat That is about it except for a tune up items and that is about it.
