Wood Outlasted Steel

It`s pretty interesting.When I flipped this bed up I was surprised to see a cross support had rotted away,yet the factory wood remains.The truck had a cap on forever.The original wood is well preserved.On the bed rails there is rust from years of trapped water.The truck was a`69 C/20 with only a Powerglide and gauges for options,as well as Special Paint...a light grey with dark red wheels.It sat for many years behind a building.It was a darn nice truck when it was parked,still original paint.I can tell it was sitting a long time from the way the water went to the same spots for so long.

She needs a drink of oil.

Nice bed though...make sure it goes to a good home. Not the government crusher
