I'm going to tag onto this discussion as it's mostly on topic.

Does anyone know of information on the wood for the bed on a '49 1-ton stakebed? I've found a lot of information on pickup beds but nothing on stakebeds. I'm going to measure the boards to get the right dimensions for them but I may have to replace some of the wear strips. Are they the same as the pickup wear strips? Any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the time and information.
