I saw this today on Hudson Valley, NY Craig's List. Ford flatbed
This is the correct factory platform/stake bed for a 133" F350 DRW chassis/cab. I think it was installed on Ford trucks from the 30s thru mid 70s. Its not mine, but may be of interest to somebody here.

It looks good. I am not sure how long the script beds were made by Ford. At the earliest (possibly earlier) they made flatbeds with FORD in block letters in 1965. These were still used at least until 1979.
I have found literature that proves these dates correct. If anyone knows if they made them with block letters before or after this I would like to know. Thanks.
My '70 F350 has the block letters.
I have seen pictures of them on 40s and even 30s Ford trucks. These are all from Ebay listings over the last few years.
Those are some nice flatbeds. However the beds must have come from a later model truck. The flatbeds from at least 1948 thru the 50's had Ford script beds. Ford was written in the classic cursive letters.
