Nice weather, so back at the cargo bed.
I am not positive if this is a post war bed or not. The SNL G-508 and TM9s only show wood beds.

Maybe at some point the bed was redone?
Next is the front panel.

- You can barely see the steel tube that was welded on but previous owners. This weld was right at the bolts and the flange for the side/rear.. so taking it off was a must before anything else came off... beware of hidden dangers... it took me a while to f
