Re: Previous owner '68

Hey Joey, just remember who I heard it from. The fella was none other than F H Stags. He went on to glory in 2011. He was 94. Seeing that old wooden truck bed like it was made me think of him. I just saw the work Rg did on the metal bed. It's nice to had old stuff laying around. Good work Rg.

So... are you ready? Drum roll please....... COTTONWOOD!!!

Not too heavy, but dense. Won't twist, splinter or split. Things slide easily yet it has a felt like grip. Now I've not ever heard that from anyone else. Fran was a squared away dude new about wood.

That'd my story and I'm sticking to it!

Ah ha! Cottonwood. Makes sense. Didn't even consider it. Was thinking of the high country, not the water corridors! I dig it.
