Default Re: 1938 Tonner Bed Floor Question

I'm actually asking this question after the fact. I completed my truck in June of 2019. I had nothing in the way of wood to use for templates either for the floor or the crossmembers and very little in the way of hardware, none of which was reusable. I did manage to find all of the original style hardware from a couple of different sources. I found crossmembers at Bruce Hokey's that were very close to correct and that I modified as needed. The bed wood for which I chose oak was relatively easy to do. The two outer boards took a bit to get exactly the right curves around the wheel tubs. The skid strips are stainless from Mac Hills, and the wood is finished in 10 coats of spar varnish, gloss on the top and semi-gloss on the bottom.
