Original 1946 stake rack info please - 07/27/20 02:40 AM
Knowing that there is an astounding amount of knowledge available from the members here, I thought I'd throw this out there...
Would anyone know what the factory color and finish on the wood parts of a stake rack body on a 1946 3/4 ton (model 3609) would have been?
And was the wood used oak?
The metal parts of the flat bed may have been baked Dulux in black, but I'm not sure of that.
The rear half of the wood panels on this truck appear to be original to the truck and presently show red stain.
The front panels have been replaced and no longer have the rounded metal front corners. They are of course red also.
The floor boards show no finish at all.
And the truck is the standard Brewster green with black fenders.
The truck looks alright as it is... but I'd really like to know what it looked like brand new!
Thanks all
Ole
