Many early UTILITY BEDS were made by company named "POWELL" I bought a 1960 Dodge D-100 with Powell utility Body in 1960. The utility boxes were often moved from truck to truck when new trucks were purchased.
Quiet possible that "Powell" Built the Bell Company's beds. Powell was around for a very long time and were here in Business very early on, but like a lot of other USA firms are no longer around.....
I put 400,000 miles on that old truck and sold it in a weak moment and have tried in vain to find it for years.
And of course "UTES" and UTILITY BEDS ARE NOT THE SAME ANIMALS!!!
