I was gifted a decent long WB bed from a '50 that I would like to put on my '41 AL 3/4 ton. I have some concern about how the 50" width would look. The '41 is 48.5" wide, so it would be 3/4" wider on each side. I have toyed with the idea of cutting down the width of the sills and using a new front panel and tailgate. The side panels and stake pockets are in good shape as are the sills. Bed strips and side angles are gone...Any thoughts from out there? I am a decent welder and fabricator and don't have the money for a whole new bed. (the truck was a flatbed)
Thanks, Ron
