Thanks guys for the help. We split/cut the forward crease, hammered the triangular section over and welded it all back together. After cutting the crease and making the bends it was around the 5/8" mark at the bottom of the bed. When pulling the bottom of the bed back together to weld all the measur...

Thanks David. That helps and it jives with what i think are the lines on my hammered out bed. Appreciate the info.
Thanks again!

We are still trying to determine if working-hammering-dollying the metal back to its original shape or cutting and welding/fabricating that area is the best route to go. Knowing the exact dimension will be critical.

Thanks Sir! I had assumed (you know how dangerous that is) that the 26-27 beds had a larger bump out from the pictures Ive seen but wasn't sure. Haven't found good enough pictures of the 1925's to determine that part. Mine is so mangled in that one area that it could be from .75" to 1.25" due to the...

Hello Folks, Im beginning restoration on my 1925 roadster pickup project truck. Hoping to get on the road by 100th birthday! I know there are some real experts out not the least of which is Larry Smith out in california. I have some issues I'm beginning to address on the bed dimensions. The front of...

Hello,
There was a thread on the old forum 9/30/2010 with John Baier and Larry Smith. The bed boards were described in detail. Not sure how to access that old thread.

Great visit with Robert and Jane. Really enjoyed a tour of all of their vehicles. Depot hack parts just as advertised. Great start towards building mine.
Thanks so much.

I have a 1925 roadster pickup project Im currently working on. I dont know the answer to your publication question, but would love to see the other advertisements if you could post them sometime, or where might they be seen? Thanks so much.

Hello aDave, I sent you a PM. -JIm Overstreet

I have a set of 1925 roadster plans. I agree that this is a worthwhile endeavor and would be willing to contribute to the club.

Thanks for the analysis! Thanks Steve for the blow up of the step plate, I was hoping someone could do that. With the cowl lights and vent and straight cowl/hood I had ruled out a Ford. Having done more research since posting with the visor and other features I had arrived on it possibly being a Dod...

IMG_5173.jpeg Hello, I am trying to date this photo for family history research. The young man second from left is my father. The photo is taken in front of the home where he grew up in central Kentucky. We are thinking that it would be around 1927. It appears to have rear suicide doors and looks q...
