WC63 Bed

Post by Russell Moore » Fri Jul 14, 2017 9:09 pm

Hello
I am looking for some information
I will be needing one of the rails that runs on the top edge of the bed on a WC
Are these pieces reproduced
Does anyone have some used
Can I use the extra ones I have for a WC 51 to make the one I need
I only need the one side
Here is a pic of what I'm looking for

No one is making these; making them is hard because of the rolled edge. Not enough demand anyway. If you have enough scrap WC51 beds you can weld them together to make a ten foot long one.
Or just buy the bed I am selling that has the edges on it.

Thanks for that information
If I didn't already have so many parts to fix my bed I would definitely be interested the one you have for sale
I'll probably use the WC51 bed edges I have to make what I need

I made my own years ago, including the rolled edge. But used a WC-51 as a donor for the rounded end pieces. So it can be done but working in a sheet metal shop helps.
