I assuming your talking about the bed support memebers; I bet Number Dummy could cross reference which year Beds are interchangable; if your's a total basket case bed; I try and find a replacement bed; just a thought.

Dennis Carpenter has the wood, the strips that divide the wood, the hardware and the rear bed sill only.
Mar-K is AFAIK, the only source for Flareside bed crossmembers.

If the site doesn't show what you need for your flareside, email wife Peg & they'll do their best to answer questions & help you out.
Most folks get him confused with Dennis Carpenter (no relation) who is an excellent source for most all things.

You are correct, my error. I edited in " Dennis " in front of Carpenter.
It can be difficult separating one source from another since there are so many, especially if the names are similar.

Topic has come up recently suggest run a search and narrow the field to the 61-66 forum. Posting couple I bookmarked; also, couple articles on repair, and installation may find helpful.

Link to thread where member posted pic's of gallery using synthetic material. Food for thought; although, since I am basically lazy went with the wood which is relative easy installation with no refab, or modifications. Replaced the bed on 65 several yrs. ago and use it for hauling on reg. basis and it's beginning to show the wear.

Try Dennis if you can find it with Dan . Dennis has almost everything you could want for a Ford truck. He has a lot of the tooling that was bought from Ford motor company. If he don't have it or can't find it for you it most likely is not made anymore. He is here in charlotte and Dan is about 30 miles from dennis.
