I think you're on your own with this one. Our German friend, Kai, built a stake bed for his 1/2 ton pickup and, if I remember correctly, he had a bit of a hard time finding dimensions and other information. Somebody correct me if my memory is faulty.

Try this guy, I hooked up with him in PF and he said he does stake beds, can't offer any more, I have not reached that stage yet in my project.

Bruce Horkey's wood and parts, they are in Windom, MN. 507-831-5625

Hope this helps

Here in ohio, they have a truck body specialist who sell only truck beds. If you can find one in your area, drive it over and I bet money they can get you something. I highly doubt to much has changed as fars as stake beds go in the last 50 some years. -4speed

Hi,
Don't know if you are looking for new re-production, but this place advertises 1940-'56 rack bodies.

stake beds

My 55 F-250 has a Knapheide stake bed (actually a grain bed, but basically the same thing.) The bed is currently low on the priority list at this time. So I haven't gotten with my local distributer yet. But you might want to check them out

I have a new stake body that would probably work quite well for you, let me know if you are interested and I will get the specifics to you. I'm located in central Pa.
My email is: jneidig@evenlink.com
