My dad had a 1954 Chevy 3/4 ton pick-up that he hauled cull dairy cows to auction market. Truck was a narrow bed with a step area on the side of the bed in front of the rear wheels with fenders on the outside over the wheels. Factory wood board floor had steel bands about an inch and half wide between every board to hold boards down as they were bolted to frame cross members. All trucks of that era were made with beds like this. He had removable sides that fit into pockets on the bed. Pick-up trucks with wide beds with steel floors and inside wheel wells came along later.
In the 40's, 50's and 60's a neighbor had a pick-up truck with narrow bed that he used to haul a Guernsey bull around the area to breed farmer's family cows. It is said that after the first time getting the bull into the truck, the bull was no longer a problem to get loaded. Man just cranked the truck and bull would come running. Back up to gate, open it and bull jumped into truck! Guess he knew what was waiting for him!!!!!
