Look at this wood bed

[c10crazy]

Is this bed installed over the steel floor?. The auction says the bed was shortened 3". I've never had a wood bed so I don't know alot about them but he did a good job if it's home made.

Looks like a Blazer with a pickup roof grafted on.

Is it a blazer or is it a truck ...clue...CE1692845966

its a truck, -- the heat/ac control block plate is ugly. high back seats look wrong, but those can be changed

on the flip side, color / stance are nice and the top chop looks pretty good -- i kind of like the slightly shorter bed look -- its not too extreme, just enough to make you look at it twice

I love the line about it being restored and modified --- which always makes me ask, "which is it? Restored or modified?"

If he lived in Murfreesboro, TN, he would be trying to get at least a quarter mil. for that truck

Here are a couple more pics of his bed which seems like alot cheaper than the Show Deck that sells for over $1000. I know this is just screwed to the steel floor but I think it looks pretty good even though the wood slats are wider. Any opinions on cheating this way?

He musta got a deal on that paint...
I wold chip the wood everytime I slid something into my bed withthat setup, and it will retain moisture under the wood.

That Truck doesn't look right. The back window is different. The bed wood does look nice but you can see the metal bed underneath.

I think it look's Good for What it is, It would be Fairly Cheap to Do like he Did it. The Wood appears to be Plain old Pine Boards & Just Some alum Channel.

Would make a Good Mod if Your Bed is IN Bad Shape.............

That is just bad

I saw that truck in person over the summer at a PIR cruise in. Overall I thought the quality was not very good. I only took "20-footer" pics because that's all that looked 1/2 way decent... Another guy was looking at it at the same time I was and said to me "Shame isn't it?"

I usually don't talk down other peoples work like that, but it just didn't look good. And to stick to the point of the thread, I thought the bed wood was one of the worst aspects of it.

I agree with toomanytoyz, looks like a good mod if your bed is in bad shape and you are trying to dress it up. From the pics the truck looks like a good deal for 7 grand. I always wondered what a bed would look like making a home made version of the Bruce Horkey show deck!. He should have used better quality wood at least.

Now that you mentioned Bruce Horkey, can I get some feed back on his product (Showdeck)? I have not had the opportunity to see one installed in person. I am currently trying to decide which direction to go with my bed. I do not want to make a costly mistake.

Wow... Ebay is dragging some interesting looking trucks out of the woodwork..

My bed floor was pitted so I stared doing body work to the bed floor.... That didnt last long so heres what I did in my bed... It cost me around $50.00 and I get alot of compliments on it... Its all vinyl wrapped wood I cut out.. It matches the interior of the truck too... Sorry pics are poor quality..
