This was the bed when it was a stepside. The wood is Birch I got from Home Depot for $175... That was about 5 years ago..

Just installed, still needs stained and polyurethane'd. Red oak is from E-bay and stainless strips and bolt kit came from Classic Industries.

nice beds. I'm actually in the process of poly'n my bed wood. Its oak, PO put it in without finishing it, so it was a bit weathered, which is kinda cool. I sanded it down, but I still left some of the silver color on there, so it should be very unique.

Stock well used wood. It had a 3/8" piece of plywood over it for about 20 years so its a little better because of that, but still pretty worn.

So dose this mean you are going to remove all of the boards then stain them and coat them. You should sand the sharp edges a bit round so the urethane dose not get thin there. Water will get in and mess up the wood. Even if you don't drive the truck in the rain I am sure you will wash it sometime or another.. You need to do the bottom also..
