Morning everyone. First time posting. My question is. Has anyone use wood bed from lmc trucks on their F3. They sell long Bed version 7 boards but say its for F2. I called and they won’t give out any dimensions or say if it will work on F3.
The place to ask that question is in the , Older, Classic and Antique Truck section. Click on the "Forums" tab, at the top left of your screen, and scroll down.
The F-2 and F-3 bed from 1948 to 1952 are all the same 8 foot Express Bed or Box. The only difference I know of is a slightly different running board. Even they still bolt right up. You can't see the difference unless you crawl under.
Bruce Horkey sells the wood, metal strips and mounting hardware. I think he has dimensions on his site. Check it out. Good company.
Greetings from Wisconsin! We could be neighbors. It looks like Scott has given you a place to find the dimensions for the wood you will need for your truck.
Good luck and welcome. There's lots of knowledge and experience here with these old trucks--you're sure to get the help you need to make progress with your project.
What, no pictures. We like to see the truck. Wish I was at that point with my build. Still waiting for spindles and brakes (for the last 7 months) form TCI.
Thanks for all the help guys. I got my cross members and bolt kit from horkey’s. They were awesome. Wood is coming from wood bed.com cuz they had a pine option which I was looking for.

Beautiful truck. Maybe someday I will take mine there but for now just wanted to get her on the road. I’m up in marshfield the dead center of the state almost
It's aged since I first restored it. I just don't want to take it off the road to redo it. I rationalize it by saying everyone is going for the "patina" look now saying a vehicle is original only once and all the rust and dents tell it's history. Cars and trucks originally didn't come the factory with rusty, dented panels. I look at my truck and think it looked good as new 25 years ago and since I've added my own history to it. Maybe some day, famous last words, I'll tear it down and redo it but for now it's too much fun driving it.
Bob, your truck still looks good! Up close, it's even more impressive knowing the body work and paint are 25 years old.
It's a balance we each have to decide between how important it is to have our trucks drivable, and how perfect we want them to look. I started working on my truck about 6 years ago when I was 67--too old for a "perfect" truck. I knew I didn't have the time for a frame off "restoration" that could develop into a 10 year project. I cut some corners, as a result, but my truck has been drivable pretty much the whole time--And I've been enjoying the ride!
Your truck looks very solid and respectable, Justice. Best wishes for getting it out of your garage and out on the road!
I'm about 90 miles northeast. I'm almost always up for a gathering. Just about anything is a good enough excuse to head out for a little adventure. Bob, you'll want to check out my lower fender repair. I haven't seen it yet, but it's supposed to be done when the snow is gone--that's pretty soon.
