Re: Truck Bed Rail Stanchions Needed for reproduction
Hey Jake, They had a set of these "correct for 1960-66 Chevrolet" bedrails on my truck. Someone took them off and filled the holes. This service truck had them on it so long the rails were bent to death, so they chunked em. I have had no luck finding a set for years. A guy who is a member of this forum who is a big time collector has one new old stock set and one used set he said he will sell me, but he has not returned any of my attempts to contact him about buying them. So I contacted a bed rail maker in Texas that is willing to repop the stanchions. He just needs access to a single stanchion that has not been warped dinged or cracked. The plating can even be missing. Only the pot metal stanchion is required to reverse engineer the stanchion. There is nothing that comes close to the flowing lines of the original goose neck stanchions. All we need is one lousy stanchion to borrow and be returned. I can not believe no one else has some of them laying in a box of old stuff somewhere. Rare, yes. But not non-existing! Later,GM
