Where can I buy the hardware for a Model T wood pickup bed? I have the wood, I need hardware.

You might check with Lang's to see if they can supply just the hardware.

I have a new wood bed I just finished and going another route. I found a metal bed so the wood bed is up for sale.

Mine is narrow early bed, not 26/27

Thanks for that link to those wagon parts. Took a look and like the forged draw strap supports, and end braces, would work great on a bed.

I used an old late 1800s Indiana farm wagon that had rotted for the last time. Salvaged hardware worked well for me, and was all old hand forged stuff to boot!
