Bill, First off - Welcome to Stovebolt! wave Congrats on your recent dive into ownership of not just one, but two 1941 GMC's! thumbs_up Since your question primarily talks about the construction of your truck beds, steel vs wood in your case, I've moved your post over to our Making a Stovebolt Bed forum so folks can provide their best on-topic answers.

While you wait for folks to offer some help, perhaps you would introduce yourself and your trucks in our Welcome Centre. Dont forget to post a few pictures as you know that we love seeing them. Would love to see your trucks and learn a little more about you and their future. wink

Once again, Welcome! shake
