Vintage Truck Magazine Article
I have been told that this months issue of Vintage Truck magazine there is an article about using Trex decking for the floor of your truck bed. I am interested in doing this myself but I've looked at the local book/magazine stores and none of them carry this magazine. My question is can someone who does have this issue scan the article and either post it or email it to me. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
A member here that's on the 60-66 side of the board did this. I'll see if I can find it for you. If I remember right, the extra thickness was one issue. Plus he had to install an exhaust heat shield.

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
I would like to see that article as well.
Personally, I would think twice before using any composite or PVC. They are very heavy and will require much closer support spacing than our cross rails would provide. Of the Trex line, only Transcends might maintain it's color. ...just my .002... |

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
The only issue with scanning it is copyright laws.

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
mi396ss, I couldn't find that thread, but you may want to ask who it was over on the 60-66 side.

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
Heres a link to the guy who did it on his self built Jeep CJ pick-up truck.
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f8/ga...2/index81.html look at post #1209 somewhere in his build thread he discusses how he did it. Here's the link to his other jeep Truck project. Post #298 http://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread...+floor&page=20 Last edited by mavrick; 01-20-2010 at 05:16 PM. |

Re: Vintage Truck Magazine Article
vintagae truck magazine
Here is a link to Vintage Truck...I bet you could purchase a back copy. I agree that scanning an article might be a no no... This is a good magazine which I subscribe to. In the fall they have a great truck meet at Youngs Dairy (Yellow Springs Ohio) and I might try to get a mini meet there for our members this year. . Great ice cream and things for the kids to do. Ok...I'm done. ![]()
