Bed cross bowes

[sermis]

I am looking at getting some troop sides for my deuce. Does the deuce use the same cross bows as the 105 trailer or are the bows specific to the deuce. I found a place that has lots of pieces and parts but I was not sure what I needed to look for.
Wood or fiberglass? He has both and wants $25 for the side troop seats. Which would be a better choice?

I had a chance to trade some fiber glass for wood and I stuck with the fiberclass because of the low maintenance

Where did you find troop seats for 25$ a side? especially fiberglass!! Please PM I need some. I'm trying to get the truck ready to head out mid July.

OH, by the way, the top bows are different with M35 and M105.

Sermis, definatly fiberglass! and yes the top bows are different. Never seen glass bows, only wood and metal. There are also uprites that you'll need. Seen 4 kinds of those, glass, wood, taller wood..about6 inches or so taller than normal, metal ones. The metal ones are only 12-14 inches or so long as compared to the "normal" ones, 36 or so inches long. Want to see a pic of the glass and metal ones? $25, Thats a deal, i'd jump on it if they aren't cracked!. Oh yeah, you'll need corners too. Dropside corners work on non dropside trucks.

Fiberglass is great, best to keep it out of the sun, and/or well-painted. Have had to dismount and paint fiberglass antennas several times due to sun exposure.

If somebody could post up what I need would be great. I have no idea what is needed to make the troop seats and cover work.
What is the going price for a duece tailgate?

The guy in Gatesvill might have some. I went last night but he had 1 1/2" rain and it was getting late. I was looking for some for myself, just could not make it all work at the time.
