does anyone know where i can get plans to build a wooden stakebed. I had seen one on a truck on ebay that looked great, but it had no spaces in the side slats, and they went up about a foot over the height of the cab. All varnished it looked great. Any help and pics would be great thanks in advance

Ya know, I've got a utility trailer that needs a new box. I think this design might work good for that.... Hmmmm smile


The only thing more amazing than my ability to cram 60 minutes of work into a 9 hour day is my talent for making it look effortless!

jersey kid,
Did not say what size truck you wanted to add the stake body to, but may want to look at :
1. Check this page and look for "first time in 2 1/2
years" dated 4/12/05 by " 46 forme " because he did a fantastic job on his truck.
2. Check out" carnut.com " and look for trucks because I've found a lot of good looking trucks depending on the year some with stake body's.
3. Check Brad's '41-46' Chevys because he has pictures under stake body's.

Hope this helps,
cvett

the truck is a 41 3/4 ton the two stake beds im looking to build is the one like the hidden valley ranch truck"ha hahah" or the other box i had seen looked like a chipper box that landscapers use. I had seen the chipper lookin box on a 53 on ebay. The floor of the chipper box style looked like hardwood flooring. and the sides looked like furniture grade ply. it had vertical metal ribs on the outside of the box hope this clears it up a bit thanks again
