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.

Re: Finished the bed
you probably want to put the flat washers on the main bolts like it was from the factory other then that it looks great

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

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.
