Not everyone reads each area of the site everyday, so it may take awhile to get an answer.

Been meaning to measure a buddies stock flatbed to figure out how to reproduce it. and get the similar style down. My plan was to match the radius on the corners of the cab to the corners of the flatbed.
Are you planning on making one that looks stock or are you going for just a temp one to get you by til you get your regular bed done?

I finally have some time to get on the forum and read. As you can see these guys are very helpful. I have learned so much here and have gotten many questions answered in the past.
Terry has the woooden flat bed. He put it on until he gets a pickup bed rebuilt. There is also a '54 flatbed around and he is looking for a pickup bed. Don't know of any fenders right now but there are probably some repairable ones around. Can yours be fixed?
