I am just finishing a late composit bed 1945 WC-52 and Alan's sight was invaluable Alao John Bizal at Midwest Military has most everything you might need to complete your dodge. Make sure you give him a call.

Hewe is a link to Alan's websight;

I think the origional floor boards were 3/4 inch. I had mine milled to 1 inch. I used the dimentions Alan supplied on his websight and found them to be fine.
