Here's one style - metal with leg adapters to bunk two single beds.

Thank you. That is the style I have but only one. It does not have any date on it though.

[phil b]

Is the.date on the end or side of the frame

Sorry to hijack your thread.  But does anyone know a source for the mattresses?  Have a bed, need a mattress.

 

Thanks!

[Quartermaster]

The data is stamped into one of the ends of the bunk.  Sometimes if the bed has been painted multiple times it can be difficult to see the information.

Scarecrow thats a good question. I need to find one to. The only one I can find are newer ones

I don't know about the actual dates, but those were the beds I slept on from basic to jump school (September 1966-February 1967).  When I got to Training Group, we had bigger beds and thicker mattresses.  Al most like a college dorm.

I remember the ones from Camp Mackall in the tarpaper shacks that had the springs replaced with cut-out plywood and "rafting" my sleeping bag each morning.  Never occurred to me to look for any manufactured dates.
