About those bed kits
:hiya: Hi everyone reading this, I'm new to the forum. I have a 70 Chevy SWB FWD fleetside. I went fixed it up and restored it about 12 yrs ago, but I never did anything about the bed. I'm from Reno NV. Yeah the home of Hot August Nights, what's this you ask it's a yealy car show that went big really big, 5000 entries plus 2000 plus other classic (72 and older) cars and trucks attend it's a week long event, lots of fun.
Any way I'm getting my truck panted again now and I want to put a new bed kit in it I'm going to shop around Hot August Nigths and find the best price on oak, bolts, and of coarse the stainless steel steel strips. I would appreciate any tips or hints on doing this bed kit up really nice. Sorry about the drawn out intro.:blah: the70chev |

Welcome to the site!
I have been shopping around for a wood kit myself and the best price i have found is from classicParts. Im not sure of the quality but its about $170 cheaper than most of the others. I think I priced it one day and with the wood, stainless bolts, bed bolts, mounting pads and rear cross sill it was right around $550...not too bad. |

Re: About those bed kits
bowtieogre I just called classic parts (formerly Chevy Duty) and she said it's a white oak. And I talked to this guy that's refinishing the original floor in my house and he told me that the white oak is more durable than a red oak. I hope that this helps in your decision making and let me know if you have any experience on these bed wood kits.
