I have been looking to purchase one for a fair price but turned up empty hand.
It doesn't seem to hard to fabricate with the right measurements and angles for the rod placement.

It bolts to the bedsides and came off my 53 Chevy bed. It is not for sale, I will be using it on the T'Mater | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 486 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 486 |

It has good info....Is there anything with something closer to the '53 model? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 2,201 | I think he was referring to my offer 54tow I have taken seven pictures with a tape measure next to it. one of the mounting points is bent a hair and I can't figure out which one. The basic dimensions are 11 1/4" between the heavier mounting holes and 12 1/4" hole to hole on the other three dimensions. the unit when mounted will be 9 1/2" off the face of the truck side. The triangular piece is 8" on all long sides and the short (cut-off) end is 2". The studs will have to be located to fit your wheels. Mine is for 8 lug wheels. The pictures are located in my photobucket folder | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 110 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 110 | Thank you...This is great help, I see if I I can fab one this weekend.
