Got it- Rescued Composite G-506 bed

Post by newc » Thu Feb 25, 2021 6:06 pm

A while ago I found a composite bed at a farm sale- finally got it home. Data plates are tired- maybe a '44? Lots of parts there and all wood for patterns. even the plywood tool box remains. Main stringers are there- the U bolts were torched off. Rear mount is unusual tho. It is a big mount plate bolted to each stringer. Anyway the bed maybe spoken for as I don't need this project. Future will tell. Photos here for everyone to check out. Newc

I searched for your composite bed re build, couldn't find it.
Thanks for posting the pics.

Ok: The steel plates on each stringer [rear] are the rear bed mounts! kind of different. ? And the blocks with groves in them locate the front board of the tool box, also some locate the bed mount 'U' bolts- My restored bed has those on it. This bed has all the little oddities on it. I never posted my rebuild of my '44 bed, pre the G. Newc

Thanks NEWC, I am very happy to have been able to buy this bed from you !! In the past 4 years I have 5 Chevy Beds fall right into my lap. What is the old "Supply Sgt. in the Sky" trying to tell me? :o :) . I guess another cab and chassis will come my way soon too :roll: .
