Hey guys,
I have a 41 3/4 ton that originally had a metal bed. I want to convert it to wood. I don't want to buy a wood kit. I can cut my own boards to save money. My question is how many boards did they have from the factory and what are the dimensions for each board? Again this is a 3/4 ton. Thanks!

Have a look at Mar-K's site. They have some great information on beds. Also. if you have original cross sills under metal, you can figure out board widths based on hole spacing.
