looking for bed info

well i took off the running boards and rear fender's. i was hopeing to save the factory bed but it is bad . i added up the cost of new material and it will be close to a new bed kit. has anybody bought one from midwest early ford. look's like best priced one so far.i will be able to save the stock fender's on back with a little patch work. just checking on other place's first.might miss a better deal. thank's.

The last bed I bought was from Tood Murthum up in Detriot.You can order from him with no stake pockets or unwanted holes.I don't remember what the cost was.I plan on ordering my current project bed from Todd too.

Todd Murthum sells complete beds including wood and bed strips or just the individual panels.At least he used to.Been a few years since one.

I bought a ProsPick bed including all hardware, new tailgate, oak floor, SS strips with hidden bolts, and hidden tailgate latch for around $2600.

I have heard some good things about Mack Hills in Missouri but have never tried anything from them.

48 bed

I bought the bed you are talking about for my 48. I was very impressed with it. And I bought a set of running boards and rear fenders for my 47 truck. As far as i am concerned thats the place I'll buy all of my stuff from.
