Matching Wood Bed and Tailgate Plans

[mkdbenn]

Just finished "Building" on paper my wood bed and tailgate for my 67 C10 (see attached pdf files). Plan on using clear Cedar for the wood even though it's on the soft side. I like the idea of this design because it will 1) Fit right into the truck as a OEM one would. 2) Will match the wood bed. 3) Allow air to pass through. Bought the truck and am currently welding in new floor pans and rockers. Will post the results of this actual bed and tailgate after Truck is ready for it. I do not have thin skin in the least. If anyone has ideas that would improve on this or blow it up as a bad idea be glad to hear from you!
