  • Wood bed questions

    Does anybody know the dimensions of the cutouts for the wheel wells on the outside boards of the 1st Series bed? Also, were the boards originally rabbeted for the bed strips from the factory? The wood I pulled looked like it wasn’t. Thanks!

    I used pine boards to work out the proper cut out dimensions, then transferred it to the oak boards. Yes the boards were rabbeted. Also there is an opening cut I the wood for a sender access plate, and the center hinge is “let in”. Over on Joe’s site is some information on bed construction.

      As far as exact dimensions on the cut outs, I do not have that Nate, Dave did some fantastic previous articles on Bed design and builds. Via the T137 page there is alot of good bed assembly information.
