Need pics of truck bed frame members installed WC12

Post by RWatson »

Looking for pics of just the bed frames installed in a '41. Been so long since apart don't want to guess. Also is front cross frame made of metal? Have piece that just doesn't make sense but do remember it being there when disassembled.
Thanks-Rick

They are all wood on the three trucks I have had. They are all the same size besides the last one which is longer as it slips in the pockets and has the tailgate bolts pass through it
All right they're on our left they're on our right they're in front of us they're behind us they can't get away this time

If I remember correctly Phil H posted some pictures detailing the wood
sub -frame rebuild he did on his WC 22 ( ? ) I tried without success to find
them here , Maybe he could re-post them ? ( although I could be thinking
of someone else )
