UTility grade bed wood? stock type

I've only seen yellow pine factory floors. You don't want to use the treated version because it will shrink a bit on you. Use the regular SYP.

That doesn't look like a Home Depot truck by any stretch....looks like it came from the 'hood'.

Which one ?

I don't know --- i am at the stage of the game that i like an unrestored (unmolested ) truck. If it is close to rust - free, still has original paint and trim, and has an original interior with an uncut dash ---- thats a big thumbs up that some otherwise well meaning 16 year old hasn't gotten ahold of it and done irreparable harm before he discovered girls and his parents made him sell it
That gives me the discretion to do what i want without having to undo previous "repairs"

(No offense to teenagers-- some of you will be fine upstanding truck enthusiasts -- but i have seen what some of you do to trucks also)

And we were all teenagers once weren't we... good lookin 69.

I would just use Douglas Fir or Pine 2x material. Mill it down to specs
