Wood Bed Advice Needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking of milling my own wood for my 71 Fleetside. I have dried some nice ash for almost 2 years now. Does anyone know the width and lenght of the boards? My old ones are toast and I can't get the measurements off them. Also is there a router bit that matches the factory notch for the strips? What about the holes?

Sure would be nice if someone offered the plans to make a wood bed from scatch like I want to?

I am a teacher and we have a great woodworking program at the school.
