    here are the details of the bed bows: the uprights are 25" long with 4 holes 2 for the corner and 2 for the stops. the holes for the stops are 201/2" on center from the bottom of the board, the holes for the corners can be marked by installing a corner to mark these holes properly. ALL hardware is 5/16X11/2 phillips head bolts w/ nuts an locks for the stops. holes are drilled to accomodate these size bolts, you may have to search online to find 5/16 phillips head bolts they are used so the canvas wont wear agianst a sharp hex head type bolt. the stops themselves are 1"X21/4"X 1/4" thick steel. The center board is 503/4" long with 2 holes in the center for the center bars, these holes are 241/2" and 261/4" from a side of the board and are for the 1/4 carriage head bolts an wing nuts used for the center bars. using a straight line the arch in the center board is 3" at center. the bow corners are similar to duece corners as is all the wood its just all longer but can be cut down. as well vpw had top bow kits i think they still do.
