Replacing my Bed Wood

“Down into the Rabbit Hole”
I’m finally in a place that I can finally start finishing my truck.
I’ve been collecting all the pieces needed for what seems like FOR EVER.
A few years ago, I purchased Dimensional Southern Yellow Pine boards for a local Mill, and using schematic diagram from GMC Paul, I cut and routed the grooves myself. (I have all the woodworking tools required for the task)
Then I mixed up my own stain color, to match the wood grain inside the cab.
Not wanting to go the Urethane Finish route, I applied two heavy coats of Boiled Linseed Oil as a finish.
Prior to putting the BLO on, I put the boards out in the sun, so that the oil would penetrate better.
Today I laid it all in the bed to mock fit it, and took this picture.
I’ll take more as I go.
I’m all ears for any tips or techniques that I need to use while changing out the wood.
Thanks in advance
