Jim,

This may not be what you are thinking of, but If you look in the Gallery under 55.1st big bolts, you will see my 4400.

It had an old Ford flatbed on it when I got it, and I built a new 12' bed for it soon after.

I purchased rails, corners, stake pockets and cross rails separately from a manufacturer in Los Angeles. To try and give it the authentic look, I ordered "round" corners...they almost look original.

The factory bed had no headboard (I think), but I built one for mine. Granted, this doesn't look entirely stock, but gives you some ideas of what is out there.

The outfit in L.A., Fleming Metal will punch the side rails for stake pockets wherever you want. They also supply the inner pocket itself, AND stakes of varying lengths.

This stuff was surprisingly affordable, but I am closer to them than you are from a freight standpoint.
