Wood bed experiment
I'm just about wrapped up with my 1970 c10 restoration.
After this weekend all I will have left is the bed I plan on making this a daily driver and don't want to worry about my pine or oak boards if it happens to rain so I'm going to try laminate over exterior plywood. I'm a cabinet maker by trade and have several 16" width cutoffs of laminate from a job and extra exterior glued ply. If it doesn't last I got nothing in it. I wanted to laminate over 1/2" pheloic which would never rot but didn't enough a its way expensive. Not my first choice of lam color but will look good. Still have to use dado set to take out ends See pic. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Wood bed experiment
I do lots of laminate floors and never seen one I would trust to last more than cpl months with continuous exposure. Maybe you have something better.
Shame the Trex decking doesn't come in real wood look. Costly but last.

Re: Wood bed experiment
Looks great, keep us posted. I'd really be interested in hearing how it looks after a summer.

The restoration is done and I'm on the road. That Formica bed experiment came out well. Best part it was free by using cutoffs from a commercial cabinet job.
Laminated over exterior glued ply. See pics. Thanks. Mark Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Wood bed experiment
No problem, some of us like nice orange and white trucks. And we do have wood bed/floors. It came out nice. You should feel free to post it on some of the earlier year forums. Make the rounds.
