I know the front bed panel on the 3804 AD trucks had the extra bracing running horizontal on the middle of the panel, but I was curious if there were any other differences, specifically along the bottom edge.
I was considering making my own front piece and using a piece of e-track for the bracing since the 3100/3600 panels are a dime a dozen as well as cheap if you go the reproduction route, but again, not sure about any differences along the bottom edge of the panel.
If anyone has pics of a 3800 front bed panel, that would help, or if anyone has one to sell, that would be great as well.
Liquidated my projects Now looking for a decent '47-'55.1 3100, 3600, or 3800
whateverpratt - Just a reminder that if your looking to buy something, please post an ad in the Truck Parts Wanted forum of the Swap meet. Asking to buy/sell stuff in forums outside of the Swap Meet isn't allowed.
Hope someone with a 1 Ton can answer your question on the bed front panel. It might be better discussed though in the Making a Stovebolt Bed forum.
