Guys,
The seller of this truck is claiming it is a 1 ton 1959:

I E-mailed the seller, and tried to get the frame numbers etc, but the numbers they found made no sense.
From what I can tell looking at the images this is a 58 W100 with a 116" WB or a 58 W200.
There are many parts that have been replaced, including the grill, front fenders, steering column/wheel, and the engine.
I know Mike Clark had looked at this truck once, maybe he can say more about it.
In any case, if anyone here is bidding on this truck keep in mind it is not one of the 185 1959 1 ton 4x4s of this basic body style.
I also have more images of this truck from back when it was for sale by a junkyard, go here to see them:
