On the 38 truck there was the square tool flat top bolts. 38-39 share a lot of the same items. 38 had a metal bed floor. Not sure on 39. When I was looking for them, a long while back. Roy told me they are not being made by anyone.

In a coffee can I have most of the original bolts, some had to be cut out. There is a cast wegdes also to square the bolt to the frame. Kube makes a good point that with a cutoff and a tig you can salvage for an original look. Or just use the best that are available currently.
