Wanted CCKW top bow parts

Post by Robin »

I need a set of 10 of the steel uprights that go just below the top bow corners. There for an open cab CCKW.

Hi Robin

I think the top bow stakes you are looking for are wooden ( hardwood ie ash oak etc )

You can mill them yourself or have a cabinet shop do them for you
size them to fit inside your cargo rack uprights and drill the end to fit the metal bow corners don't forget to radius all the edges with 1/4" router bit.

I can measure the size of an original tomorrow and post the size then.

Hope this helps

You can use M35 bows and corners.

Take the bows and cut 4" off of each side (not 8" off of one side) and redrill the holes.

Hi Robin
I put the steel M series stakes on my truck and in my mind its the way to go, the wood ones sometimes can swell and be very hard to remove, I know were you can get them if you want let me know and I will pm you .
