Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and to old trucks. I'm not even sure I'm in the right area for this question but here it goes. I just picked up a 1938 Chevy truck with a stake bed on it. Can I put a regular bed on in replacement of the stake bed? Will the wheel wells line up? Thank you for any input.

As in previous posts today, I would give Mar-K a call if more info here is not forthcoming. Just Google them.

What size truck? Most trucks in the 1/2-3/4-1-ton range have frames that will accept a stake or conventional beds with corresponding install hardware.

It is a 1/2 ton. I have been doing tons of homework on this and found a wide variety of beds. Was just afraid of spending $1500 to $2000 on a bed that the wheel wells won't line up. Thank you for your input.
