Factory flat bed
My flat bed
Hello I just picked up a flat bed for my truck.
It has a stamped "Ford" in the back. From my research Ford did have factory flat beds.
Above is the picture of a painted picture of one I found on the internet.
Is there a place to get new wood from them and trim to replace the old one?

1956 and earlier beds have the 'old timey' Ford script.
AFAIK, no one reproduces the wooden bed floor.

Very cool, never knew there was a factory flat bed, never put much thought into it, just assumed they were all aftermarket.
I hope you will post up a lot more pics documenting this for us.

This how far I have got.
I wish I had a picture of back, with Ford stamped in it.
Thank you for your help so far with bed identification.
