early 60's p/u bed trailer for parts. what year and what rear is this?

I pulled this thing out for my mother in law, it has 5 lug ford bolt pattern(5 on 5 1/2) i think. trying figure out 1st the year, 2nd what type of rear end this is and if its good for any type of performance use ,Note not a nine inch ,3rd if anyone would want this old bed or parts off it ,I dont want to trash stuff some one else might need. Its rough but you never know whats useable! thanks, cobey/ o.m.71

 

the pic of the cover dindnt come out, poop!!!!

 

I would say it's a '53-56 Ford. I just worked on a similar one yesterday.

 

I beleive all of the ford flareside beds were the same from early/mid 50s until late 70s. That actually looks like a late 50s-60 dodge bed.. they usually have the little bump out on the bottom of the fender.

 

btt

 

btt , anyone know about tho rear end, cover kinda looks like a dana, without good guess on year cant figure out what rear end is in it. thanks again, cobey

 

btt anyone know what this chunk of **** is? maybe a later year than i thought

 

I know if its a dana 60, there should be a 60 on the webbing between the pumpkin and the axle tube on the bottom right side. got a pic of the back side? or of the numbers on the top or on tube?

 

thanks pipes, it kinda looks like the one in my dads IH p/u but his is a 3/4 ton and its a International, ill post a pic of the cover next time im at my dads. I left it there the other day have too many cars here to leave the p/u bed trailer here!
