Have You Built Your Own Bed Wood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like to redo my wood in my 71' lwb. I'm going to follow the plans from gmc pauls website. I was wondering if anyone else has done this too. If so...

What type of wood did you use?
What type of finish did you use (linseed oil, tung oil)? does it last and protect
Did you use varnish or polyurathane coating? (does it flake)
Where'd you get the plans and did you follow them exactly?

I'd like to still have a useable box and am just going to reuse the metal strips. I know alot of bolts will probably end up getting snapped off. Can you find new bolts at a hardware store or can you buy them from a vendor?
