Re: Finished the bed

Looks great, is the wood from a kit, or did you mill it your self? Either way, It looks really good.

Plus 1 on the washers. The bolts will loosen up and dig into the wood and your bed will loosen up and move around.

Smile Re: Finished the bed

Look's very nice, if you have not put on a sealer or protective finish it will soon start to buckle from rain . I did one year's ago and before i treated it after one rain it started to buckle.. I sold the truck later anyway, but i need to do new wood in my present daily driver also ,loose strip's rattling and hole's in front corner's.I will treat the wood top and bottom and all around before installing it.Just giving you some precaution if you did not seal wood.
