Stake Bed Trucks
Does anyone have pictures of trucks with stake bed sides installed on C/10's 20's or 30's? I think it would look pretty cool, especially if done right. I ran a search and came up with nada :-(

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
I'm thinking more about trucks with stake sides on top of stock beds. That one is real nice though, I could have used that the other day when I was moving bales of hay by hand.

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Now that is a real truck!!!! I am just an old guy that thinks trucks should be used as trucks.
I have been looking for a C-30 myself, but so far have not found one. I can find '73 and newer, but none 67-72. I just have to keep on looking, I guess.

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Wish I would have known you were looking for one. There was a 71 or 72 about half an hour from me. C30 green and looked pretty decent from 40 feet or so away. I will keep an eye out for one local here for you.

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Here is a picture I have saved from another post. It belongs to a memeber I am sure, but I don't know who.

as far as protecting the wood, TWP clear - which when dries looks like NOTHING has been done to it - can be found at a good (ICI Paint) paint store. Or a really good marine varnish. Do NOT use Thompsons or CWF-UV JMHO!

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Kansas is a little far away, but if you're in the Sebetha area, I've got a family friend who's got an old farm out there. If you're interested, I could give you the address.

Re: Stake Bed Trucks

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Was hoping there would be some more pics here. I have to say I've often thought about adding them to my truck. I think they look cool for some strange reason.

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
Not a stock or period correct bed, but I tried to make something that resembled period correct stakes. They were often plain wood or whitewash stain in the late 60's (which is what I used). I imagine most stake beds were installed by up-fitters, so there are big variations.
Those sides can be unlatched and removed by one person (me) in manageable sections. The back gate has a latch on each side made with steel conduit so it can hold some weight. There is over 100 linear feet of wood on those sides, and all of the bolts are stainless steel. I made a jig that fit over the rail to align it square and mark the diagonal holes to drill. I was bored one winter............

Re: Stake Bed Trucks
I've got a set for a long-since-dead '73 C20, maybe I can find pics of it on the truck.
