52 truck bed
Santa came early and I finally ordered my bed. I ordered it from Mar-K. They are very nice people but now I have delimma on where to order the tailgate from as they don't sell the Ford script tailgates. I order a lot of parts from Dennis Carpenter but they are pretty high priced. Has anybody got experience with the quality from different places? I figure there can't be but about one or two places that actually make the tailgates.
Also, on a different note... Does anyone have the exact dimensions to cut all the wood for the bed? I have oak cut off our family's land that I plan to use.
Thanks,
Scott

Try this place for the tailgate. They are a great source for alot of bed parts. I wouldn't be surprised if they were the supplies to most of the vendors

Have you tried www.midwestearlyford.com? They had a nice set-up @ the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona last week, and there beds looked really nice.

We just ordered one from Mac's Antique Auto Parts. It appears to be great quality. ($275).

I ordered my truck bed from Mar-k yesterday and because I work for FedEx, requested FedEx shipping.... I don't know if they thought I was joking or not, but today I got an email and the tone of it didn't set quite right with me.... The lady I spoke with was very nice, and I requested delayed shipping, so she said she would have someone email me--which I recieved today. It stated that since the shipping was free, they would choose whether to ship FedEx or UPS. It was a really odd email--the tone was just "off". I didn't know if anyone else had that kind of experience or not...Just wondering if this had happened to anyone.

Yes, but in a different way.
The customer is just an inconvenience now days.
With companies going out of business you would think that they would be a little bit more customer service friendly, but they are not! UPS shipping to Canada has extremely high brokerage fees, even on items with no duty, so if I ask suppliers to ship any other way, NO. It is just easier to get everything ready for the brown truck to pick up at 4:00 pm everyday, I’m sure the post office or Fed Ex will pick up! Laziness / compliancy makes for poor business practice, oh well they don’t get my meager pittance.
