Show us your Wood Floor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for a 8' bed with a wood floor and wood like to see any finished beds with wood floors, for some ideas of types of woods and finishes.

Thanks

Not a long bed but this is oak with some kind of stuff they use on exterior wood doors.

heh heh...he said wood.

Randy, that looks sweet.

I'd show you the longhorn's wooden bed floor, but you'd laugh and hurt my feelings.

Gee_Emm: What kind of stain is used for that factory finish? I am thinking of redoing my daily driver and would feed back scratching a natual wood finish.

classicchev · 02-21-2005, 01:20 PM

Farside, if I read your post correctly, natural finish(no stain) would be the best if a scratch needed to be repaired. It would be a quick repair. One suggestion though is to make sure you seal all bolt holes and all sides of the board. If you dont, after time they will turn a greyish black from moisture.

Here is mine it's white maple with a marine varnish 7 coats and 24 hous wait time between coats Oh... the boards must be snaded between coats. Polished stainless strips and I polished all the bolt's in the drill myself. The inner fenders arethere for a test fit they are stilll in primer.
