Re: 1936 pickup bed
Does anyone know if the 36 beds came with rope tie down hooks on the side rails? My truck has them. Not sure if they were an option or someone added them. They are mounted under the side rail with carriage bolt heads showing inside the rails.

Re: 1936 pickup bed
I replaced the oak boards on the underside, then made a piece of plywood to cover the original steel topside.

Re: 1936 pickup bed
When I took my wife to her first V8 club show in Gettysburg a couple of years ago, she asked what people carry in those beautifully restored or over-restored pickup beds? I told her they carried pillows! We still laugh about that.
My jailbar has a beautiful bed. I picked up some used appliances in it, but I put some moving blankets in first! |

Re: 1936 pickup bed
I haven't seen them on the beds I've handled. They likely were owner mods.

Re: 1936 pickup bed
The stake side ford script beds, like my 37 has were wood and metal strip, and the rear fenders have channels for the bed to run through. Ford did it both ways!

Re: 1936 pickup bed
My '39 Peeekup came with three beer kegs in the back. One was empty. Was that original??

Re: 1936 pickup bed
Just in case anyone else is interested.... Mack DOES make the stamped steel bed flooring. $350 for it, which I think is reasonable. The problem, however, is it requires freight shipping....around $300 to NW GA. Also, there is a $125 crate fee added, so a total of around $775(Whew!!!) to me. In contrast, Mack's oak wood/stainless strip bed kit is $390 + UPS shipping(around $100 to NW GA).
Might be worth going to pickup the steel flooring if I go with it. It's around 8.5 hours 1 way. I have some things to think about I guess. |

Re: 1936 pickup bed
Thank heavens that in America a person can create a vehicle that pleases them. I have the best of both worlds. A stock appearing steel bed floor (in my Mack Hils reproduction bed). However, I love varnished wood, too. So I went with a Bruce Horkey "Show Deck" in rock maple. This is because I need to carry a box to lock up "stuff" when I'm on the road. I didn't want to drill holes in the steel bed so I installed the tie-down runners from Macs to allow me to attach the box and my directors chair when I go to shows. This way there is a removable wood deck that pleases me. (Never have been and never will be a drugstore cowboy.)
