47 PU truck bed

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

Dave, do you have a paint # for the color on the wheels???

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.
