What would you have done differently on your wood bed install?

I have search the forums- I see lots of info on stepside wood bed install but nothing for 65-66 Fleetside. Saw some info from one of the forum venders too but no directions

got my oak kit- bolt kit and metal strips
now I think need to:
do a dry lay out,
drill it.
stain it 3 coats top, bottom and thru drilled holes- (Purchased a Dutch made UV resistant Marine Varnish at West Marine)

then install.

Some say with the lay out- start in the middle.

AM I missing Anything?
