I have the bed sides (used from Jim Carter), and the original running boards and aprons, and one of the original cross rails is good. I'm going to be purchasing new front panel, tailgate, cross sills, bed wood, mounting blocks, and metal bed strips. I just am not clear on exactly where/how everything goes.

I hadn't realized that I had to designate that posts would be public. I think I've got that fixed now. Thanks for letting me know. And It's been awhile since I updated those posts, so I will be adding more very soon.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
