I have ordered from most of the suppliers and agree with the comments here. I do feel the need to rant a little about Jim Carter at the moment. Last summer they had a one day internet sale and I ordered a lot of parts for my '50. As always some were back ordered but no big, I wasn't ready to install most of them anyway. I was test fitting the bed and I realized the front bed panel I got from them the mounting holes were drilled wrong, had to go through the hassle of sending back. This weekend was mocking up the bed floor and I noticed that one of the bed strips had the holes punched wrong, figured I might just eat that one due to the hassle of sending back. Then I noticed that the bed wood I got from them is cut wrong. I ordered from them due to the sale and that I wanted the southern yellow pine. 5 of the boards are about a 1/4 inch too wide. Add that up and you are over an inch too wide. Add you can't just cut them down as the groves won't be right to fit the bed strips. Now this is something that they cut themselves. I am used to the asian stamped repro parts not quite fitting, but you would think that a company that prides itself on knowing these trucks could make the bed wood right. I haven't contacted them yet, and I am sure that they will make it right, but boy is it frustrating. I decided not to cut the wood myself due to the "ease" of just ordering it and having it cut right. So much for that.

Holcomb, there is also the Truckshop in Orange CA, they generally have good prices, but I have heard others complain about their customer service.
