A tedious, time consuming job that willl drive any perfectionist nuts.

Alex Hayley · 12-07-2005, 01:04 AM

Really nice!!!! Where did you get the wood? What kind of wood is that?

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.

very nice! talk about some woody action!

(sorry, I just had to)

Bill72BB · 12-07-2005, 02:09 AM

Ron ; That looks Great ,

72MARIO · 12-07-2005, 01:07 AM

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.

jsbgump · 12-07-2005, 02:08 AM

Looks great man great work

thejoker · 12-07-2005, 07:14 AM

Beautiful....I got some Red Oak to install soon and hope mine looks half as good as yours!

red71cheyenne · 12-07-2005, 01:25 PM

That is gorgeous! Wish I could do that to mine, but it has to work for a living. And its a long bed. Anybody ever done that to a Blazer? hmmmm....

Jimbotronics · 12-07-2005, 01:44 PM

Nice!

legends · 12-07-2005, 02:00 PM

did you buy the predrilled wood or did you drill your own holes ?

70c10 · 12-07-2005, 03:02 PM

Stunning!

Iron-Butt · 12-07-2005, 03:13 PM

Nice work! You want to come help install mine?

Mudder · 12-07-2005, 03:21 PM

I am thinking some of your bed bolts are turned wrong...................

Very nice job.

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?

CG · 12-07-2005, 04:37 PM

now all you need is to rhino line it and your all set

That's just not right.

Looks great

Maybe Mar K will read this and write a set of instructions.

68shortstep · 12-07-2005, 05:38 PM

Since you're well-practiced now, if you want to try another one for an attempted faster-speed, I'll be happy to provide you a truck-in-need to try out & improve your new-found skills on .................

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

72MARIO · 12-07-2005, 05:47 PM

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.

Was yours a conversion??? I am thinking of converting mine due to the beat up condition of my present steel bed floor. Please let me know.
