rear fenders: that does not look like a Dodge bed, but then closer pics will reveal the truth.

That's also what I think, the tail gate is a ford.

I'll get some closer pics today.

Here's some pics of the bed, pretty sure it's a add on.

 

Also pretty sure it's coming off and a flat bed will be going on.

Some more pics.

 

Can any one tell me if the cab roof lights and the blinkers on the fenders are original?

It's a Ford 1 ton box, can't tell you what year it is. I suspect it's newer than a '52. Inner fender's look wider than the '51 and there is no embossed panel and 4 stake holes instead of the three on the'51 Those fender mounted light and cab roof lights are probably originals, maybe dealer installed. That style fender light was also used on other makes of the same time period.

Dave72dt, thanks for the info.  I suspected the box was not original.  Maybe some old Ford restorer will want it, old being the Ford, not the restorer.
