Re: Lets see how you make your bed

Ash is a lot more stable than hickory.

Re: Lets see how you make your bed

Does it count if you put wood over your metal? I know it doesn't look near as nice as original wood, but it looks a whole lot better than it did before. It's Mahogany stained to match the side CST wood trim. The pics are not that good either

Re: Lets see how you make your bed

I have White Oak wood and polished stainless strips ready for my truck and would like to see pics of trucks that have a finished White Oak bed. Here is my truck with the original wood.

Re: Lets see how you make your bed

On my 70 k10 I've been toying with the idea of doing Ipe for the bed. Not to be pretty, but for a utility bed. You cant hardly hurt the stuff.
