BED WOOD for a B2C


Ruderhaus

Recommended Posts

I am to the point where I can make the bed wood for TANK. (3/4 ton 1950 b2c) Does anybody know how wide the outside boards need to be? I am getting some local maple that was milled and dried from a few trees that had to be cut down in town. it looks like the outside boards are going to be close to 11", and the four inside boards are in the 7 3/4" to 7 7/8" range, and the overall length is 7'-6". I have looked on the pilothouse site and only find info on the 1/2 ton trucks.

I replaced the bed wood in my 49 B1C last month. The bed is 54 inches wide and 90 inches long. outside boards were 10-5/8 wide and other four boards were 7-9/16 wide. leaving 1/2 inch between boards this fit perfect on my truck. hope this is of help to you. I searched and could not find deminsions for a 3/4 ton either.

YEP!!! 10 5/8" on the outside boards sounds right, and I too will be gluing a couple 8" wide boards together before I have George mill them down to the 10 5/8" wide dims. Thanks for the info and I will post the AS-BUILT dimensions that I use when the project is complete.
