Re: My Pro Street '56 GMC Pick'em Up

What size is the pipe that you use for the rounded corners on the bed? I would like to do this mod sometime in the future.

I bought a 1 5/8" mandrel-bent j-pipe or u-pipe from Jegs. The kind of pipe for making and welding up your own headers.

Another option is to use 1-1/2" pipe (1.9 o.d.) long radius butt weld elbows. See post #113 here.. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=363509&page=5
