Wood for a bed floor
Anyone know of a better deal than 275 shipped for the wood floor in pine for a short fleetside truck?

Re: Wood for a bed floor
Have you checked with Mar-K? they are a board vendor and I think they are offering free shipping

Re: Wood for a bed floor
Know any wood workers in your area? I just made a new floor for my stepside using only my table saw with a dado blade. Very easy to do.
I chose to use pressure treated decking boards for mine so total cost is about $35 dollars plus my time.

Re: Wood for a bed floor
I went through Brothers and got a set for about 250 less than a full price. It was still MAR-K products. I was very happy and satisfied, but did pay some shipping on it and understand why. I was glad I purchased the wood with holes already cut in it. MAR-K always has deals and shipping seems to be free allot on their adds, so I recommend them as well. To sum it up just keep looking and shopping till the right deal meets what you want to pay. GoodLuck on your searching.

Re: Wood for a bed floor
Robert Noe not sure of his board name has it in Kingsport and it is in Oak probably for about 25-50 more than what you would be paying for pine. Just a thought?

Re: Wood for a bed floor
I don't know how long you can wait, but Mar-K had a deal earlier this year with 10% off and free shipping. It was a real good deal for me since all the good stuff is on the other side of the Mississippi from here. Maybe it will come around again...
