This wide bed took 2 pieces of siding from Lowe's--approx. $50. Step beds may do w/one sheet. Coat with kerosene/diesel oil (with a bit of black crankcase oil for darker color if desired), spray or roll on, bolt with carriage bolts in orig. holes. This siding makes one heckuva trailer bed and much more durable than one would think just looking. Lady friend built a garage w/it , did NOT paint, and 9 years later looked as good as when 1st built. It's about like tongue-and-grooved--the pic of the red truck is joined, unseen, in center of bed!.....then rhino the sides.....or rhino sides AND siding w/out the oil finish!
HTH,
