I wonder if that pickup bed was available as a dealer add-on. Or, perhaps, even in the after-market? (Was J.C.Whitney around back then?)

That was the heart of the depression. Says Chevy built 3183. I am guessing that was the only source. In the depression, if someone wanted to retrofit a truck bed, I would bet they would build it themselves out of wood.
