Galen: The chance of my reproducing the 2nd & 3rd series beds is a bit remote right now - I'm coping with the costs of what I've done already! I could have had two, maybe three, fully restored Power Wagons sitting in my garage right now, for what it's cost in just materials and outside services, not to mention my time, to do the WDX side panels! The main tooling for the WDX sides weighs nearly two tons, and it takes three men and a forklift to get it into place in the 600-ton press required for the job. The tooling for the later series would weigh/cost more than your house! It's do-able, but not right now! Individual parts, such as the stake pockets, are more likely to happen in the forseeable future. I've (hopefully) attached a shot of the stake pockets we do for the Willys pickups. Stay tuned.
