I'm converting my '47 1 ton to a stake bed and want to build it in the proper period style - similar to the one shown in the operator's manual. Some years ago, a company called Northern Classic trucks manufactured all necessary parts. They're still in business but unfortunately no longer cater to stake beds.
I'm looking for the hardware in particular. Does anyone know where I might find the hinges, brackets, etc.
Thanks

for a low budget go to fleet farm. thats where i got my steak brackets. coppla bucks apiece and there powder coated black. far as lumber menards is a good place. hope this helps, knuck

 

I have a 6-1/2 foot stake bed for a 1947 Ford truck for sale. I can send picture if you are interested.

 

I'm looking for a bigger bed, Stautz - seven and a half ft. for my 1 ton.
Thanks anyway.

Stautz, still have that stake bed for sale?

 

Anyone got some drawings of the original stake bed?

I know BobJ49f2 on the 48-60 forum has some detailed drawings details of the stakebeds (as well as other's) , can't remember exactly what sizes of bed but some good info. maybe search or post a question on the 48-60 forum?

good luck
