I am looking for a bed for my 34 Ford, please let me know what you have.

I always say , If you can't find one , build one . They are really not that hard , it's what most of us end up doing .

And don't limit yourself to a '34 Ford bed. Here's pic of one of my favorite trucks of all time, a Model A Ford pickup with a Chevy box. Looks cooler than the shady side of an iceberg! Old Ford boxes are expensive; old Chevy, not so much. Heck, you can even cut out the Chevy logo and weld a Ford script in its place; that'll keep 'em scratching their heads.

I built the one on my 47 and the one on the 36. You can find kits too that you can build to your specs.

I usually try to share my work with everyone. I think when i built the boxes, i may not have had the site up and running at the time and posted most of the pics on our facebook page. I will try to share more if i haven't done so though....

This is one I built for the '36 dodge truck . The sides are 16g and the rear is 20g and the tailgate and side rail rolls are made from emt conduit

hotwheels · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2012, 04:30:52 AM »

Lookin good man. See, it's not that bad to build your own. I used the same size metal on both of my boxes here.

dcacjc · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2012, 02:40:59 PM »

it look s like I will be giving it a try, i will have to find someone with a brake to bend the metal for me.

Greybeards Customs · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2012, 04:25:44 PM »

I think you are making a good choice

miraclepieco · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2012, 07:49:22 PM »

34 with homemade box:

(It looks like my truck but it's not).

hotwheels · « **Reply #16 on:** November 25, 2012, 04:33:53 AM »

It's really not that bad. If you take your time, you'll build something schweet and you will like it much more....

dcacjc · « **Reply #17 on:** November 29, 2012, 03:59:54 PM »

its really just the bends that bother me. what do you use top of the bed sides?

Greybeards Customs · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2012, 04:08:48 PM »

If you are talking about the curl on the bed rail , I used emt conduit from the Home Depot and welded it to the bed sides and smoothed it to look like one continuous bend

46gmc · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2013, 02:22:26 PM »

I made mine also, I tore apart an old trailer for the sides and fabricated the front and back then welded em together. heres a pic of outside and in.

looong story on that one haha..... My girl at that time, her father didn't like me to much, well at all. But he was a car guy and he didn't like how "messed" up I made mine...He is die hard full original restoration type of person, which I love just like every other car enthusiast. But he hated what I had (of course), which was probably only because I was dating his daughter but anyways he co owns a walmart and one day he calls me up and asks me if I wanted to come to a car show they had going on in the parking lot. I though great finally he might talk to me and sound like he doesn't want to kill me, so I went on over, needless to say first place got his car "shown off" in walmart (I was never told this). Well he is the one who "rigged" it so I would win and made me leave it in Walmart for 2 MONTHS! Not worth it.
