I have a '53 and '55 F-250 pick up and the only place I know is to either have it custome made by someone like Dan Carpenter or to buy a used one. You could try Bruce Horkey Wood and Parts as he has some used trucks and might seel the parts. Also there is a guy in North Carolina "Flashback F-100's" that might have something used. I had the same problem finding bed parts for mine and ened up buying the '53 to use the parts for the '55. The F-250 is a little harder to find some parts for. I saw a guy at the Pidgeon Forge Ford Truck Nationals that had a '55 F-350 with a 9 foot bed. He had his sides made by Dan Carpenter. Good luck

I don't know about frame parts, but I have found mechanical parts for my 1954 F-250 at joblot auto.
I am having trouble finding the 12" x 2" brake drums. Does anyone know of a source for these?

Actually the F-250 bed is wider and taller, at least the pick up bed is, than the F-100. Hence the problem. If you have or are making a flat bed, wouldn't you be able to use wood for the cross members. I would think that would be acceptable, unless you are using the truck for hauling heavy duty stuff. I know the pickup bed is taller and wider than the F-100 because there are small wheel tubs in the F-250 bed and the tail gate and front panel are taller. The did make some 8 foot F-100 beds, I saw them at the PF Nats, but I'm not sure if they are the same bed as the F-250. Steel tube might also work for a bed cross member.

Unless I'm misreading something he is looking for a frame crossmember not a bed crossmember.The frames were all the same.

all the frame from F100-350 in 53-56 (and possibly 57-59) were identical as far as crossmembers are concerned, so it shouldn't be a very difficult search. It is quite possible someone on here has one or a dozen sitting around.
