Re: Buy a Wood Bed Kit or Make one
Hey Dan,
My truck is a DD or at least a couple of times per week driver and I wanted to be able to repair the finish without much trouble. So it is just a black deck stain rubbed off and finished with Olympic waterproofing. Hasn't seen much weather yet so I don't know how it will work out. Mar-K has a great technical article on different bed finishes and has pictures after various numbers of years in the weather for each one. http://www.mar-k.com/wood_finishing.html http://www.mar-k.com/wood_finish_testing_i.html http://www.mar-k.com/wood_finish_testing_ii.html Oh yea, mine is red oak.

72 Freak,
What finish did you use? That looks close to the factory finish. I'm hoping to do mine that way.

Re: Buy a Wood Bed Kit or Make one
My buddy has a sweet 72. He REALLY put some time and effort into his bed.
