Hello All Just wanted to know where the best place to buy a Model A truck bed for my 31 would be. I would like a used one but chances are slime on that one so a new one is my only choice. Adam
I just bought a cheap truck with one on it, they are out there. Of course, that's the only one I found up there and I have plans for it. Brookville sells one as a kit for around $1200 if I remember right - not cheap, but it's brand new. An original that needs a floor is worth around $500.
Keep An Eye Out Everywhere You Go, I Just Got A '30 "a" Bed For Free That Was An Old Brush Trailer An Old Guy Had Layin Out In The Back Yard. He Says " If You Think You Can Use It, Get It The **** Outta My Yard " :d
I think I'll hold off on buying a new one. I'd rather have a old one in good shape. I'll just have to keep my eyes open for now. I'll checkout the site's that you guys have listed above. Adam
How much are you looking to spend? Here's a picture of the last one that I built. You can also see other pictures of this truck in the Tombstone Ariz. posting here on the hamb, theres also a few pictures of bomber seats I build if you lookup some of my posts to see more of my work.

The BEST way to get a bed Cheap is to find one someone has made into a trailer. The whole trailer is worth about $75. I have posted pics here before of trailers I have---: A Model A trailer , $75, a 1936, $25, another 36,$75, a 1935 ,$75, a 1949 free, and a 39 I made so its kinda free too. 54 Chevy free
I'll second Last refuge Hot Rods. They sell a kit for $500 bucks or so and will customize one to your dimensions, bead design etc. http://lastrefugehotrod.com/modela.html
