Hello
Hi everyone! I just found this place and it looks like an excellent source of information. I just picked up a 1972 C20 that has been in the family for the last 20 years. I am starting a restoration. This will be my first restoration ever, so it should be an excellent learning experience.
I am in the process of taking off the box to restore it. It has the wood bed in it. The wood is all rotted out, and there is nothing left to measure the size of the boards by. Where can I find the dimensions of the wood planks for the bed of a 1972 C20? Thanks |

Welcome from Stillwater...are we close?? I am in the early stages of removing a rotten wood floor too, and plan on buying the replacement wood and strips from Bruce Horkey. He is one of the premier wood bed replacement vendors, and is located right here in Windom MN. As of 6 months ago, he didn't have a web site, but you can e-mail him at ...woodandparts@yahoo.com and they will mail you a catalog, or call them ...507-831-5625. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have, from my limited base of knowledge, as will all others on here!!!

Welcome from kansas, these guys know everything. I really think that you could know nothing about these trucks and do a full body off restoration just by asking questions. And they never get tired of answering them or helping you out
Good luck and have fun David
