Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

That's right a wood fleetside bed. Not just a wood floor, but other than the front panel, wheelwells and tailgate this thing is 100% wood, nails and screws. Then it was covered in gelcoat or something. I only had my phone on me so the pics aren't the greatest. Besides the upper body line not flowing down toward the back it probably didn't look too bad when it was first done. For a WOOD BED! I'll add more pics shortly.

Yeah I'm still in shock. i guess it could be bondo, it is pretty thick in places. Would bondo stick to wood? Although what ever it was didn't stick very well anyways. Some of the bottom coming up.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

I thought the same thing after seeing how the bottom section behind the tire was laid out...Also why I thought it may be gelcoat.

1. The PO lived in San Francisco during the 60s.

Or

2. The PO was a high-school wood shop teacher.

Or

3. The PO parents named him Noah.

Or

4. All of the above.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

That is crazy cool. I wonder how much it weighs?

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

As far as the bed goes, I give the guy respect for trying something different and doing a decent job of it. It probably looked alright back when it was done.

But why is the shifter letters backwards??? :confused:

The bed is actually impressive. Think of the time he put into it.

Holy sh*t.... This needs to go on the main page... Just when I thought I had seen it all!!! WOW!!!! How the heck did you even notice it???

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

OMG....

Looks like he went through ALLOT of work to make that. I don't know if I am impressed or grossed out!

And yes Bondo will stick to wood. It sticks very well actually and makes a great wood filler. :)

Truck probably floats. I would like to have seen pics when it was just finished. I bet it looked ok.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

He must have flipped the shifter's linkage. Either that, or it has a reverse manual valve body, in the trans.

No, scratch that.... Only forward gears would be reversed.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

He's cool in my book's . Would like to have seen this in progress. It is unique.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

I wonder if it floats? Whatever you want to say about the whole idea, I have to give whoever did it props for workmanship. Wow!
