Bedwood progress pics, Not finished yet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

super72bb · 07-05-2005, 02:32 PM

Here are a few pictures of my bedwood sitting in place. The wood was selected, cut and finished by board member "classicchev". Darren has strayed a bit from his day job... He is a very high end cabinet maker/ finish carpenter/ home builder. Along with his many other skills, he is now in the business of making Bedwood for our trucks. Here he has selected "1/4 cut oak" for my truck. The pictures don't really show the full amount of wild grain that the wood has. If you are in need of a wood floor and want to go stock or something custom, he is the guy that can help you.

I am sorry Darren, I was going to wait until all of the bolts were in and all the dust was cleaned off, but I just shot these pics this morning after working a hour on it last night.

* Also here is a couple of shots with the new tires. I am expecting the front to come down another half an inch or so when everything is installed under the hood.

Sheesh... now there is something else I am going to *have* to do.... lol

Looks great man!

FirstGen · 07-05-2005, 05:15 PM

what does he charge for the swb kits? Mines a step if that matters....

super72bb · 07-05-2005, 05:43 PM

You will have to PM. him for prices. It all depends on what kind of wood you choose, and if it is a short bed, stepside or fleetside, they are all different. His board name is "classicchev" (Darren)

Deuce · 07-05-2005, 07:14 PM

Still waiting for the call to come and give you a hand?? Looking good!!

ymhjrhd · 07-06-2005, 01:16 AM

The bed looks sick!!!! Nice work!

Castiron9 · 07-06-2005, 01:18 AM

Looks Fantastic................

lloyd k · 07-06-2005, 01:57 AM

krue · 07-06-2005, 02:48 AM

That's very nice! Wonder how cherry would look, I've got a ton of it laying around.

sleepyboy · 07-06-2005, 03:18 AM

awesome work

Sillyoldman · 07-06-2005, 03:28 AM

One of the best I've seen. Is that White Oak? If so thats a real unique bed, white oak is hard to come by.

lngbed71 · 07-06-2005, 05:33 AM

WOW!!!

even though I can see it is not all together yet, you are going to end up with probably one THE finest shortbed trucks I think I've ever seen.

Very very nice indeed.

dwaite72lnghrn · 07-06-2005, 06:25 AM

Very nice. Just besure you padd it and put a cover over that till your finished with the rest of the truck. It would be a shame to drop something on it or foot print scratches.

nitor · 07-06-2005, 07:35 AM

That's really nice. I hope mine looks even close to that good when I'm finished.

Joe67 · 07-06-2005, 08:08 AM

Beautiful truck

Very nice work on that floor too, nothing like a fresh wood bed floor

**Yukon Jack** · 07-06-2005, 09:51 AM

That is beautiful wood!

**PICKMUP** · 07-06-2005, 12:16 PM

Nice wood! Nice truck! It's all nice!

super72bb · 07-09-2005, 12:03 AM

Thank you all for the feedback! I wish I could find a way to capture what I see in person on the picture. When I get it all finished I will be sure to give it a good cleaning and take a few more progress pics.

Darren I have it almost bolted up now did you want to take a few pics for your catalogue or has your photographer already been there? I also owe you some cash so why don't you me and Cory get together on sunday maybe brunch?

Cheers

Curt

MAR-Ktech · 07-09-2005, 08:11 AM

Super, thats an awesome looking bedwood set. Quarter-sawn oak has a unique look. You have done a great job. What are you using to finish the wood?

Sillyoldman · 07-09-2005, 11:47 AM

Hey Mar-K tech. I thought my Truck would be in that new cataloge? Oh well guess i'll have to wait and try again

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-10-2005, 12:17 PM
