Just to let you people know that we have decided to pursue the
reproduction of the various types of beds for the early Power
Wagons.
This posting is a reality check, though - to research, engineer,
design & build dies, & get it all together is not going to happen
by tomorrow morning! There will probably be a time span of several
months before parts start rolling off the line! As far as we can
see, they will initially be available in kit form only, with in-
dividual pieces being made available for those with discreet needs.
We're already swamped with work on our existing Ford parts line,
and the Willys beds that we're producing, as well as all the other
work we have in front of us, and this decision is with an eye on
the future.
We will not, at this time, accept any deposits for these units,
but will establish a priority "waiting" list for those of you that
might be sincerely interested (we already have many serious
inquiries on this, just from talking about it!). There are, of
course, three different styles of beds to deal with, and I would
appreciate feedback as to what style is most in demand.
However, I need your help! I am not presently an owner of a
Power Wagon, and therefore don't have a bed in front of me to
study, measure, and reverse engineer the details of each so I can
get this project in the works! Does anyone out there in Eastern
Mass., NH, or wherever have a bed (regardles of condition) that I
could borrow for awhile?
Thanks for all the responses to our previous postings. Stay
tuned - I'll be back with more updates!
