I have one like it on my '51 COE. No idea on the maker, but I have seen quite a few on old GM trucks. Mine came off a 50's Chevy.
Love the rounded corners and ribbed sides. I'd nab it!

Yes it looks in great shape and he just wants 250 for it. Can still see the wood boards under the steel plate

I know of a '46 chevy with that same bed. Pretty sure it was factory installed. Good price, yes buy it!

Is that an access door in the middle of the bed or just a patch?

The one I drove belonged to my boss in the early '80s. It had original tall steel corners at the front of the bed which met the stakesides. They looked all the world like a quartered section from a 55 gallon drum, but smaller. They were factory rolled. This 46 chevy also had a stamped steel rear window guard set into the wood headache rack.
