Does anyone have the width of the bed wood for a 1946 1/2 ton? Mar-K was helpful with telling me there are 7 Boards in the 46 and how long they are but would not disclose the width. I see from photo's that the center board is wider than the others. I hope you can help me with this question. BED BOARDS X X X X X X X 1 23456 7 How wide is the center board (4) and the boards on each side of center (3 & 5) ? Then boards 1, 2, 6, 7 ?
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm sure others will appreciate this info also. Harold
Harold.....I think your '46 is same width inside box as my '40 ? I will measure mine later today and post. In the interim, if you have original cross-sills, you could measure bolt spacing ?
Britcom, It is not the bed width I need, it is the individual board width. My understanding is the 1940 - 45 had 6 boards and the 1946 had 7 boards. Harold
Harold...didn't realize there are ( 7 ) planks on the '46 For what its' worth on my '40, inside overall width of the bed is 48 5/8". ( 6 ) planks - 8 3/4, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8 3/4
There was a website posted on here a long time ago showing the width of the boards for different years of Chevy trucks. I'll try and dig it up if I get a chance.
If you guys have the original bed cross sills, the hole centers would give you an idea of the board widths and positioning ? Otherwise, I think Mar-K's website has board dimensions and details.
I'm trying to refurbish the bed boards on my '46 1/2 ton. Someone here already pointed out that my back fenders aren't true to a' 46...and then I come here to get the dimensions and realize that the exact dimensions posted for a 46 = 7 boards. Mine clearly has six.
1) What year range would that make my bed?
2) Does anyone have the dimensions for the six boards?
Thank you in advance!
You can't buy happiness but you can buy a truck...and that's pretty much the same thing.
