Are MAR-K Ford front bed panels just like the original?
Our front bed panels for 51-72 Ford short stepside beds are made just like the original parts in shape, appearance, fit, and metal thickness. Some of the Fords used rivets to secure the front bed panels to the bed sides, and others were spot welded. MAR-K front bed panels do not have the holes drilled for rivets so that you can use either attachment method. We also have a custom front bed panel available for these trucks. This panel has pointed ends that meet at the top of the bed side. To see these two options, just go to the Online Catalog.
