New Bed rails, wheels, plates...

I built some bed rails a couple weeks ago, used red oak. Fun project, and handy to tie ropes to. I also go rid of the mags and put stock wheels back on, going for that farm truck look! Oh, I restored a set of 1956 license plates and put them on as well. Thanks BlueDolphin for the bed rail idea you posted last June!

Bed rails look good and I like the new plates too. Nice looking "farm truck" you have there too. I can't wait until I find a 1948 Oklahoma farm truck tag for mine.

Thanks, just picked it up last weekend. I am a happy camper.

Its supposed to be a 272 y-block. Look in my gallery of the "56 I want" there are several engine pics.

Someday I hope it looks a lot more like yours though.
