Not sure if this helps but this is what I have.

That is perfect OLD SOUL, thank you. I was even wondering what the bed would look like if the top edge was bent at 45 degrees instead of 90. Think I will do mine at 90 now but THANK YOU again.

There is still a lot of finishing to do on the bed. This was done when I got the truck and I wish they would've bent them at a 90 for a more factory like look.

MaBelle. She's come along way since I got her in 2007, and like most of these old trucks, they're not done until you pass them off to your kids. But even then.....

This is my new purchase. It is a 1955 California built truck. I purchased it from the 2nd owner. It has 63,000 documented miles on it. It has a hydromatic 4 speed trans in it. It has an old green repaint but has no rust and a perfect body. The old guy welded steel in the bed so I will try to carefully remove it. It was purchased new in AZ and I received all original papers. Title from 1955, Manual and document folder from dealer.

Here is my 57. I'm getting there but I fear that the farther I go the farther I'm away from the finish line.
