As others have stated those among us who are less talented at woodworking can purchase from Bruce Horkey, link here: https://horkeyswoodandparts.com/page29.php#woodcross. Given your woodworking capability you won't need to do that, but the picture might help.
I have saved a few pictures of original 3/4 / tonner and F-2 / F-3 beds with good condition original appearing bed wood, notice the welting along the edge of the bed wood between the outer board and the bed side.

Appreciate the link to the thread, some very nice visuals there. I didn't catch the welting before but makes since. Assuming just the 1/8" welting available from early ford store and the like?
