Any tips on sourcing a genuine Ford script flatbed?
 

Looking for a 12 footer. I have a lead on one but its non script. I would hate for one to "pop" up after buying the non script one.

I tried Hemmings and Ebay but nothing really in the South East.

Its for a 157 inch wheel base 1935 BB

Thanks

MG

The guys on the Ford Truck Enthusiast site, 48 - 56 section, are always on the lookout for script beds. You might check in over there, there are quite a few in GA/NC/FL etc.

Hi all; I found a 12 ft'er that was non-script, but totally identical! I ended up carefully welding in a script piece from a junker. Always another solution. For a '40 G8T military. Later Newc

Newc,

I have to ask ... I saw this very nicely done several years ago back home. Is "Newc" your name, OR does it have to do with where you live?

That is one heck of an idea as those flatbeds are getting harder to find.

Thanks guys!
