Check this out. I bought it sight unseen with the bed and just needed the bed. Kinda poking at it I noticed it has 56” springs. Thought it was kinda cool as it’s not something you see a lot on short beds. I have had several late 70’s shorties recently and none were setup like this. I think it’s a 78 originally.

They all had a 12 bolt in those years. The 56" springs are definitely not very common though for a shorty.

Is there evidence of factory installed dual exhaust? That would signify Big 10.
