Are you going for cheap or show quality? Stepside of fleetside? Welcome to the board from the Upstate sc. My truck has 8 year old deck boards, it will never be a show truck, they serve their purpose.

Re: wood bed
 

Mine are a ways from being perfect but they look alright most of the time. Welcome to the site.

Re: wood bed
 

Okay, my turn. I have three for you guys. The first is of the sheet of plywood laying in the bed when I purchased the truck. The second is the mahogany stained oak kit with white strips that I had up until Spring. The third is of the new bed wood kit and strips that I installed last week when the truck came out of the bodyshop. I went a little lighter this time around.

First representation of the Longhorns....
And i am setting a bad example too. :(



For the record, the exit sign was there when i got the truck.

Here is mine. White Maple 6 coats of marine varnish.

Re: wood bed
 

Here's mine, one coat of stain, six coats of marine polyurethane and two days of sanding and polishing. I hope it lasts a good long time.

Re: wood bed
 

I was wondering if I could wet sand and polish the Varnish. So it is possible ?What did you use ?

Re: wood bed
 

I used 3m polishing compound & set my polisher speed to 1400. Just took my time, the boards that still had trash I resanded & polished again.

Re: wood bed
 

I went down to the shop & checked the 3m was rubbing compound #05973
