Oak kit for '65 Fleetside
 

It is time to put the wood in my '65 shortbed/fleetside '65 Chevy. I want to get Oak and use polished stainless steel trim. What is the best place (quality/price) to buy what I am looking for? I am planning on going to the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise, Turkey Rod Run in Daytona and possibly the truck nationals in Tennessee.

anyone ever made their own kit? i'm about to do my boys 66 fleetside as well. thought about buying some white oak doin it myself but didn't know if it would be more hassle than it's worth.

I have done it for my stepside. I used birch that I got from Home Depot and used my router to make the grooves but you can also use a table saw if you have one.
I don't care for the kits becasue they are red oak and that is not a good outdoor wood and white oak is. I was thinking about using African Mahogony, but we will see.
