I bought a 1953 GMC recently and it has a custom fabbed flatbed that I really like but me and my wife prefer to keep everything stock as we want to put her in shows down the road. the truck is this one http://www.siaai.com/1953gmcpickuptruck.htm same model but latter production, my truck is this one http://s696.photobucket.com/albums/vv325/ilikeoldstuff/?albumview=grid what is the best thing to do for a show truck?

Go buy a bed kit from Mar-K ??

Ditto on Mar-K. Most folks including myself have had great luck with their products. They are having a 10% sale plus free truck freight over $1000 until end of Feb. Good luck and have fun

A friend just bought a complete bed kit for his 1/2 ton, oak option, and is thrilled to death over the workmanship, I saw it and I am very impressed also just like the original cept its not all rusted out and dinged up! It took exactly one week from when he ordered it, came on one skid, and was extremly well packed. The real kicker was that it only ran somewhere between $1500-$1600, with the 10% off and free shipping. One other thing, it's "made in the USA"!
Now of course the 3/4" ton bed kit is gonna be a little more but when ya think that all ya gotta do is drop it off at the painter and have him shoot it before ya bolt it on, it's still a bargan.
