1949 Ford F4 Bed Progress

I have been rebuilding the grain/livestock box on my F4. I still need to treat the wood and reinstall the lights and mud flaps. I removed all the old rotten wood and am rebuilding it from scratch. I wii probably do the side and back rack in the spring.

I also stenciled our farm name/logo on the doors.

That looks real nice. And I like the door art.

What are the dimensions of the bed. Are the stake pockets and rub rail from the original bed?

Yes, the pockets and rub rail are from the original bed. I am rebuilding it like it was which is pretty much all wood.

The bed is about 86" wide and 109" long, I kept the dimensions the same.
