The 100 logo in the grille and the V8 emblem on the fender side indicate a 100-8. If I'm not mistaken, it uses the smallest wheelbase (114"/2.9 m), which gives it the 101-8 model code. The existence of the Wide-Side bed option from 1958 onwards gives the Fenderside name to the (formerly standard and without name) bed shape seen in this picture.
