Deuce drop-side bed hinges

[Jones]

Anybody got any detail shots of the side hinges on a drop-side bed?

Stretch has one at his place. What do you want exactly? I will be up there Thursday.

I'm looking at having to make a set of drop-side sides. I'd like some good shots of the half on the bed deck and the half on the drop-side. Also, whatever keeps the tailgate closed as well as the retainers that keep the sides up in place; probably something attached to the head board that swings over and screws down to lock?

Both the bed sides and tailgate have oval slots in them. A "T" bolt goes through and then a nut (looks similar to a wing nut with a wing missing) tightens down on it. If no pics get posted I will get them this weekend. Is this a custom dropside bed, or can you just not find a deuce dropside bed near you?

This ebay add is the best I can do for now.

Some not so great pics, but here you are.

I know you wanted hinge pics, but thought I would throw in the others while I was at it.

Great info and pictures guys; thanks a lot! You've just saved me a whole bunch of head scratching.

You could always use the sharp edge of that sign to scratch your head.

Whatcha saying? 'Bout time to change my avatar? That big yellow square is the only way I can spot some of the drivel I write; keeps me from answering myself... too often.

Wouldn't that be like talking to yourself. ..and then answering yourself. They have Doctors to fix that.

When I talk to myself, I get shorter answers... and they always agree with me.

You guys are just jealous because the voices talk to me and not to you.
