1957-60 f100 styleside (short wide bed) bed to fram installation and hardware

Well I ordered a few parts from dennis carpenter that sone other companies didnt have or were over priced. Well nobody really had a bed installation kit for my truck so dennis ended up having it but they just have the bolts,washers and nuts. Isnt there supposed to be a runner or fiber pad of some sort? They said its bed to frame. Metal to metal. Is that right?

 

there are some wooden blocks that go on each bolt they are locatd on the cross rails of the bed

 

Zephyrv12, do you know where I can get those block or any info on them?

 

those can be made I'm going to take a bed off the frame if they are in good shape you can have them

 

Hey thanks a bunch zephyr

 

Has anyone made these before? Any dimensions or pictures? This is holding me back from putting the bed back on.

 

Are the two small inner blocks cut at an angle or just the way you drew it? So I will beed two of each block?

 

They are angle cut...

 

Damn this sucks.....has anyone here made a set of these? I would rather have sonebody make them.

 

You can DOOOO IIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I honestly dont want to. There must be someobe here that has done this before

 

I cant beleive that nobody makes a kit for these years.

 

Did you check Sacramento Vintage Ford?

 

Yes I already did and they dont carry anything for it

 

How about Bruce Horkey? I know they make bed products, might have what you need.

 

Do you have a phine number or web address?

Try this page on the Horkey web site. It has the wood blocks.

 

its not like you're building a piano. just a small taper cut. table saw or skill saw will do it with no problem.
