Bed Wood Recommendations

[Chaparralman1974]

Morning gang!

Well, I am now to the point where I can focus my attention on the bed floor. My plan was to go with pine and stain it black like it would have been originally. I am not one who thinks all bed wood floors needs to look like a bowling alley. :-)

I had initially planned on using Mar-K but now that they are out of business, it seems to be a bit difficult to find economically priced pine. I looked at bedwood.com and they have a nice product, but there is no way in hell I am paying $1105 for a pine bed floor. I have a longbed fleetside so with the boards being 97" long I apparently have to pay truck freight shipping.

I really don't want to cut the lumber myself.....first off, I suck at woodwork. Also, it is just not that much fun for me. I know some folks like doing it, and that is fine, but it is just not for me. I don't mind staining it, but I don't want to mill anything myself. The last time I attempted to use a radial arm saw, I nearly killed myself....but I digress.

Does anyone have any recomendations for me in the Phoenix, AZ area for bedwood? I would even drive a bit to go get it. Classic Industries wanted over $500 for shipping! That buys a fair amount of diesel to go get it myself.


Thanks, Clay
