Look what I did (New wood bed)

Got it from Mar-K. It's oak with polished stainless hardware. About $1,000 out the door. Mar-K does not provide instructions so your on your own.

Re: Look what I did (New wood bed)
Very Nice.
I also went nuts trying to get every gap perfect. It's amazing how many hours are involved just to install the strip's bolts.

WOW looks alot like my truck, except my strips/bolts were painted black by the previous owner. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of the inside of my bed, guess I'll have to rectify that! How much for just the strips/bolts?

Re: Look what I did (New wood bed)
Mar-K sent a set of instructions on a steel to wood floor conversion to a board member who thankfully faxed me a set of the instructions.. It was a great help when putting my SWB fleet box together.
