This gorgeous bed rework is not really so far away from the original appearance of the 39 Coupe Express. The Vintage Studebaker came with a fairly smooth custom looking bed back in the day when trucks used strictly for hauling. In keeping with the smooth, simple, & clean look, this custom bed sports all known design mods rolled in together… Smoothed tailgate, rolled pan, filled lines, molded fenders, custom tail lights, tubbed & raised bed & gorgeous mahogany decking.
The deck is a nice throwback to the days when the early truck beds were decked with planks to accommodate the rugged utilitarian uses of the day. Fast forward to the custom of the modern street rod and the look is all new. The bed deck here is ¾ inch thick furniture grade polished Mahogany. This ride was made to be driven but one thing you wont see is this hauler with a load of gravel in the back!
