i've heard (now this may be wrong) that you can use the pickup beds of a C***y as a replacement for the one on my 47 ford - can anyone confirm or deny

Bootie, I have seen a Chevy bed on one of these trucks, just doesn't look right. Back when these trucks were workhorses an parts that could be made to fit were substituted, the other day I saw an early '50's International pickup with a mid 50's Chevy bed. Since you are searching, remember that '42-'mid 50 is the nearly same bed (minor differences). Not sure what the parts selection is like in NZ, but you might find some.

I hear you guys down there have some nice grains of wood. Wouldn't be the first time someone made one out of wood. Probably even put that F O R D script in with a router on the tailgate.
What are you doing up so early?
