Bed wood for the Longhorn
-
I finished cutting and routing the wood for the longhorn today. Now to install it. I am using White Cedar and have $70 in the wood. I bought a Horkey Oak wood kit for a long wheelbase truck from a guy with an abandoned project, and used it for a pattern. I just had to add 6 inches to the length of each board. I will use the Oak wood kit in my '71 C-20. If I keep going I will get this thing on the road yet...  LockDoc

Re: Bed wood for the Longhorn
very nice... I purchased rough sawn Black Walnut and plan to do the same. You can find all of the specs for bed wood on GMCPauls website.

Re: Bed wood for the Longhorn
home made router table? Cool deal Leon. Now go spray the weeds in the driveway.
I was going to do the same thing for my step side with maple but cedar sounds better. I have the plans from GMC Paul.

Yes, I made the router table years ago and have used the crap out of it. If I kill the weeds the rabbits won't have anything to eat except Pat's garden plants... LockDoc

Re: Bed wood for the Longhorn
