DOes anyone know of a company that sells bed wood adapters for a 1948 Ford f1? They are the base used to raise the bed floor about an inch to accept a regular bed wood kit with the metal strips and all.
Classic Haulers used to sell them, but they are no longer in business.
Thank you.

With the correct dimensions you could make them yourself. You already know that they need to be 1" thick. The width would be determined by the width of the metal cross brace.

Bruce Horkey's? Worth a try.

Where would one get true 1" wood?

You would probably have to custom cut it from larger pieces. If it's just used to shim the bed wood it doesn't need to made from any fancy wood. A building supply store or lumber supply would probably cut it for you.

Treated deck wood is usually 1" thick, but it will shrink and twist somewhat when it drys.
