Looking for Ford script flatbed
#31
It is a little bit wider than the 8' beds also. I cant remember how much wider though, maybe 5 or 7" ??

Well I guess if you are going to shorten it then narrowing it isn't that big a deal. You would just need to maintain the Ford script. I just don't know how to get it here except to drive all the way to Utah which is over 1500 miles away. I think shipping would be too expensive as well. Too bad I don't know anyone who travels east from Utah to meet me somewhere. Of course they would need to be able to carry the bed. Dreaming . . .

Didn't mean to cut out someone else. It just sounded like Mr. Madsen was in a hurry to get rid of it since he has had it for awhile. If Rojak can't use it on his '66, I am definitely interested in it for my '50 F2 and would like to work with you and Mr. Madsen. Let's see what happens . . .

Yes, I replied. There is still another member who has from the start been swapping text messages with Josh and me about it. Logistics of hauling it, weight, side boards, etc, are the issues. He sounds serious, but if it falls through either Josh or I will bring it back up. Stu

Doug - here's the old discussion thread I mentioned in my pm. Maybe Abe still has access to it. Wish I could have saved it but logistics didn't work for me. Stu

Happy Saturday! Finally got the locally sourced flatbed on!
I had to shorten and narrow it a tad to fit inside my trailer once it was mounted.
Glad we figured that out first. It had the rust repaired, metal straightend and tail light holes covered.
Got a fresh coat of paint too.
Working on the wood work now. Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, that looks like a very nice bed frame. Nicer than either of mine.
Have a router to get the various thickness of the wood.
Fit all deck wood.
When making final assembly to the deck, work from the inside out. All the skid strip bolts and nuts are much easier to work when you're standing inside the frame right beside your work. Much easier than working under the truck.
