Stake bed sides and headboard hardware

Does anybody know the best place to buy all the hardware I need to build sides, ie: left and right hand brackets and corner brackets? Do any of our sponsors sell complete kits? I took a quick look on e-bay, and I could buy one piece here, and one there. What a pain! I'll post pictures when this beauty is done. After 9 years, I'm almost ready to show it, and the bed sides will make it look proportional and will make it "pop". Thank you!

Northern Classic Trucks used to sale complete Ford licensed beds years ago but stopped because of lack of interest, I guess.

Have drawings of the 10 foot bed on my F-4. It shares most of the hardware from the smaller beds except for the uprights, which were wood on the smaller beds.

I have a drawing of the uprights for the F-2 bed on my shop computer.

I found corner and side hardware for my stake bed from these folks. I never could find the hinge hardware to be exactly correct but the corner brackets match the originals that were on my truck. These folks were prompt on the order and shipping was about what I expected.
And BTW, Missy green was rebuilt built for work, not for show.

If your not looking to go exact of original, just go to your local truck body installer.

The company that makes the ones on this site is called Buyers. Buyers Product Group.

I'm aware that Byers makes them, of course in my case, the only truck body installers are at least 75 miles away and their prices were nearly double what I paid.

Thanks for this link Joe. I have it bookmarked.

These prices look to be very affordable.

Corner and Straight side connectors

Check out this item on E-Bay (put this item # in search): 290699273244

The seller is randpcarriages

I bought a pair of the corners and a pair of the straight ones they sell and the are very close to the originals on my mid-50's Script 9' stakeside.
