47 PU truck bed
-
I am buying wood for my 47 truck bed. Can anyone tell me the exact length, width and number or boards. The bed had plywood on it and is in the sanblast and encapsulate stage right now.
thanks Cosmo -
Talk to Dave Sollon he just replaced the wood on his pickup. I think he got the boards from Dany Spring's father.www.hudsonmotorcar.org

I see you are looking for wood for your pickup. The wood from club member, Perry Spring from California is pre cut and fits perfect. He also has the bolts available in regular or stainless steel. The only cutting necessary is a couple of inches from the length, as he allows for slight differences in beds. Perry is Danny Spring's father and listed in roster in California.
I purchased my stainless skid strips from Dennis Carpenter and had to drill and then file each hole square for the bolts, but Perry now has them available and pre punched. I would suggest buying everything from him. You can see pictures of my bed at my 1946 Hudmobile pickup pictures -

Thanks, David H.
I don't think I have Ditzler number. Hudson part number is 175615. I took NOS pint of Hudson cream wheel enamel to my paint store and he mixed up match. This is cream paint that Hudson used between 1946 and 1950 as standard color, unless something else was ordered. I used same paint on my truck and 49 coupe with Hudson wirewheelcovers. If you can't find number, I can send you piece of painted metal to have scanned. -
This may help.
