Can someone post the exact dimensions of the wood for the side racks and troop seats and quantity needed of each?

Thanks,

Brian

Nevermind, guessed on it all and got it right. Side racks are half done now, need to paint them as well as the truck (again)...

I wish I would have seen your post a little bit earlier so I could have gone out and measured mine for you. I've been out of town for the past few days. Did you have all of the original metal pieces fore the side racks?

I used the stake hardware from an M35A2 and current-style troop seat hardware (had to take the fiberglass off)... it's all the same though! Has been two days so far and now have one side and headache rack completely redone and painted up... going to finish the other side tomorrow... oh, and I pretty much repainted the truck too at the same time because it was convenient...

Wow, great job. That's the truck that came from Colorado isn't it?

Yes it is, I need to make new markings for it now (I'm still working on the ones for your truck but a lot of my free time has been dominated by things like as seen above)... we need to fix some damage that was done during loading on the Colorado side... rear part of the bed is all bent... we plan to heat it up and/or use a forklift to bend it back into place then repaint it, need to get new tail lights for it, and need to install the wiring harness too (which we already have)... want to have it completely done for the fourth of July parade in Oceanside...

Went to fix the rear bumper and ended up taking out some of the bed wood. So then we took out all of the other wood on the bed, so now it's being replaced. Fortunately we located some 20' lengths of white oak boards to replace it
