Re: My brides new ride
What size tires are you running on the rally wheels... I think mine are way to big and there going to rub.

Re: My brides new ride
Won't gear oil make the wood swell, would use some kind of varnish for wood to protect it. A few coats.

Re: My brides new ride
Sorry not varnish, clear coat. Have watched videos on people painting the wood for the box on how to do this.

use on the boats it didn't last even a year he had to redo it. If your truck is garage kept you can do a lot with the bed wood that will last and look great but if use your truck and it sits out as I do, I like to keep it simple and honestly diesel fuel works better but I don't like the smell.

Re: My brides new ride
I see your point, bet the diesel would work good, I guess sparingly wouldn't smell to bad.

Re: My brides new ride
So James, you just spread gear oil on the raw wood and let it soak in, then install?
I hadn't heard of this before but I'm interested since I also use my truck as a truck.

Re: My brides new ride
Really cool build James.
Love the cluster Resto. Mine is in a terrible state, but I have a spare to restore. I think some overlays may come into play when I start working on it. Once again realised that I really need to find and import the steel strips for the bed wood as my truck has plywood fitted. I will be making up my own strips, and there will be more than the standard amount of strips, but challenges are good.
