I recently completed the restoration of my 1950 Chevy 3100 pickup. I would like to make some wooden racks for it. Any ideas of dimensions? How many rails? etc..

PS As you can see I created a matching trailer... the racks will match the trucks photobucket

Cool trailer. The spare grille is a nice touch.

There are probably half as many ways to build racks as there are owners of these trucks. Get out your sketch pad and tape measure and submit your drawings for approval from the stovebolt gods. grin grin

I would say twice as many ways. You might check the gallery out for some ideas.

Here is what I did with mine I didn't really want racks so made them easily removeable but I wanted to use the old semaphore signal I found!
