Older Chev/GMC bed side question

[fordcragar]

Is there a detailed comparison between the different years, for pickup boxes? Some are wider and some are longer. IIRC the AD trucks used a different box side all together. I'm mostly interested in the earlier boxes.

34-39 front panel is 45.75" long
40-46 front panel is 48.50" long

I think you are correct on the width of the front bed panel. The earlier boxes changed their 60" length in 1936 to 77" length in 1937 and newer in the 1/2 ton.

Hi I also have a used truck and I've been experiencing some difficulty with this topic to. I was wondering if you guys could give us some resources regarding this matter if it wouldn't be that much of a hassle. thanks!
