Underside of Bed Wood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody have any ideas of how I should finish the underside of my bed wood? My father had given me some beautiful red oak which I have cut and routed to size. I am using marine varnish on the top, but it seems paint would better protect the bottom. I know red oak isn't ideal for something exposed to the elements, but it is harder than pine and this particular wood came off a home farm, so there is some sentimental attachment.
Thanks in advance.
