49 PW Truck Bed Help

If you need to make some new pieces check out my build thread, I can help you out with any measurements you need

The Bed looks great, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the offer gyman98, I will probably take you up on it when I get to the bed. At this time I am still trying to make the decision to go with the truck bed or a flat bed. I only have the two side panels (not original to truck), the tail gate I have is the wrong year and I have no other pieces.

Any one have any idea what the side panels may be worth $$? Tailgate $?

I think it depends on the condition of each and what series they are. Finished up the passenger side last night, see what you think:

After several years of not working on my PW I decided to go with a flat bed. As mentioned in this thread, all I have are the side bed panels (which I would consider selling). With the help of Will "W_A_Watson_II" with his great article on the way he built his and his help when I had questions, and Todd M for additional help and his ideas during his build (thank you both), I finished my flat bed using some rough sawn Black Oak (these are the type of trees I have on my property) with Odie's Deep penetrating Oil as my finish (the truck is parked in my restoration garage all the time). Thought I would share a few photos and again thanks Will and Todd who I copied his Power Wagon cut-out design on back of bed.

In addition, since the body may seem to be a bit rough in the previous pics, I wanted to share a couple before pics and a few restored pics of my PW. The body is all that's left although I like the vintage rough look it has now with an all new chasses under it. Should I complete it or leave it as is?

I love the finished bed design. Wonderful work. Looks amazing.

I'm glad you like it since most of it's design is off yours, lol. Thanks Todd

Great work, and glad you got it the way you want, Enjoy!
