| To be more clear, my understanding is that the hoops are the same but the bed length is different. So the wood and canvas is a different length front to back. |

Maybe thats why the 60 SC at Jerome (not the raffle bus) had a round side bumper instead of the rectangle one. He had a bay set of hoops?
bought NOS from a dealer in Phoenix

| Thanks for the feedback guys. I've got an original July of 60 single cab. I've always kept an eye out for the correct tilt and bows(not easy to come by). I do know someone with a complete bay window set. Thanks again, Tom |

Are tilts, as in bows and tilts, a verb or a noun? Is it what they are, or what they do? |

I've always liked the look of the hoops and "tilts"
and my '58 SC M code showed that they came with it when new but they are long gone.
Is there any specifications -sizes and construction styles on building some
hoops? |

Unless you have a pretty fancy fabrication shop at your disposal it is better to just buy a used or repo set.
