Mountain View! Nice! Need to check it out sometime! I am just north of you in RWC. Where did you find it? Amazing you beat @whitey45 to it!

IIRC the short bed removable top’d 45s have a slightly shorter bed than the short bed fixed top’d 45s because of the longer cab in the former and both having the same overall length. An electric 45, totally tripendicular!

Now that I think about it, yes you're right. The bed on those are more squared off in front than the fixed top versions. The radius of the curve is much smaller.
Actually I thought it was almost square with no radius.
This one looks like it might be from an earlier fixed top model. Here's my 63.

By all means let me know, it is almost a roller then it will actually look like something. I found it about 10 years ago out near Yosemite on craigslist. It was just as it is in the photos It had no motor no trans.

I posted this once before somewhere on mud, but figured it would be worth trying again. I purchased a chassis repair manual some years back and inside was a sales receipt from 1966 for a used 1965 FJ45 pickup! Sales price was 2076.80 in Monrovia California from a Chevy dealer. Anyways, I would love to find the truck this belongs to! Unfortunately it only lists an engine serial number (F199554), no frame number.
If this is your truck, hit me up! I'll ship it to you.
