help with bed wood
I'm getting ready to put a wood floor in my 72 shortbox stepside. The original floor is gone with only plywood now. I have some nice oak 2x12s and would like to know what size to cut them down to and how deep to cut the grooves for the strips, any help is appreciated.

If you look at: www.gmcpauls.com under bed wood you will find the specifications and drawings that you need for making the wood
strips. Jim
