Script stake beds
 
Just wondering if any of you have a script flatbed that says "Ford Truck" and not just Ford? I cut that section from a very dilapidated 38-39 1/2 ton that was headed to the crusher. IIRC, it had a stake pocket between Ford and Truck. I know I cut some out and narrowed it up. I had a friend letter the embossed part and he added the border, it's just paint.

I thought the "ford truck" script was only on the model TT truck, i had heard that when the AA came around the word truck was droped, i had a "ford truck" bed got it in 2000 and sold it in 2005,

It was pretty small, not over 8 feet long, maybe only 7.

yeah they were a small bed. when i bought my 35 ford truck i bought it also from the same guy, my plan was to alter it and put it on my 35. a good friend of mine needed a TT bed for his project, he knew i had it so off it went to a new home, gone but not forgotten. so now the plan is to make just a plain ol wooden bed,

Cool. So now I know. I was going to graft it into the tailgate of my 29 but the metal is so much thicker than the 29 tailgate that I didn't think I could make it look right.

Dang, I wish I hadn't looked for these pictures. :-down I kinda miss this old girl. I recently lost it in the' great jailbar swap' of 2015......Only drove it once and it needed everything, but man did it have character. Looks like it WAS a TT bed. You can see the script 'ford truck' .

I like the Ford Truck script bed. Thanks for the history lesson.

Actually G.B for the model AA it still looks good if it has the single rear wheel.

GB SISSON 11-03-2015 09:28 PM

I thought it looked awesome on it. I've had 2 other AAs before that one and they also had script beds, but the correct one. The bed was my favorite thing about the pictured truck.

you know its crazy how i have to do these pics, i have around 167 albums on my kodak pictures but when i go to upload a pic only about 18 of them are there to chose from? so i find myself getting into that album and snaping a pic then uploading to a file that comes up, what a pain in the petuti, i know theres got to be a better way to do this.

I love those pictures with the tar pot(?) smoking. Those single wheel AAs with full running boards are just plain cool.

I looked again, see it's a cooker, not a tar pot, my bad.

I like the old hard hat on the stovepipe.
