The attached pictures show what I did for my '50 Chevy COE. The original bed frame had to be scrapped because the bed frame was bent. A friend fabricated the new frame and I asked him to add the post that you see in the first picture, so that I could work on or display the truck without risk of injury or death. The second picture shows it stowed away; rotated parallel with the bed frame with a bolt through the end holding it in place. Kent
