I am looking for the dimensions for the bed lumber of a 1948 Chevy 1/2-ton. I want to replace the oak with mahogany.
Currently Patrick’s Antique Trucks is restoring one for me and I want the bed to match my antique mahogany boat.
I am a carpenter as a hobby and want to make the bed parts myself.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It gives all of the dimensions you need (47-72 ) to mill your own. Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Here is another useful link as well. Quite a few years are explained on this one. http://www.chevytrucks.org/tech/bedwood.htm
