'48 F-1 flatbed

hello, I am new here and I am about to start restoring a 1948 F-1 flatbed. I am getting it next month and hauling it back to Texas. My question is, has anyone done a restore on this vehicle? Are there any pictures of this year and a flatbed I could look at?
This will be my first restore, so any hints wouls be appericiated.
Are there any books or websites that are good references?
Thanks for the help.

Big Ed,

Hi. I am also from TX. I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on my '49 F-1. I have a few spare parts if need be and might be able to help with questions. There is a company that sells new repro stake beds and pickup beds. Email me and I will give you their URL(it's written down at home.)
Where in TX are you located. We may be nearby.

James

I tried to email you but it came back today as undeliverable.
I would love to see the pics of your truck.
I am in Dallas.
I am going to be traveling back to St. Louis this Christmeas to trailer it back to Dallas.
This will be my first restore, and I have some friends here to help out but I would like any hints you could provide.
You can email me at edwardmb at earthlink.net
