sorry no// pretty similar to the one you pictured except longbed trucks for me/ mine weren't pretty but used for work and tying things down to keep the large loads in the bed

For show,I think they look better stepped down.Make sure to use stainless hardware and a good finish.

Teak would be a good wood to use, since it is used for the decks of ships.

If anyone needs some built, let me know I have access to every type of wood imaginable and have a full wood shop to build stuff like this.

oldblue1968chevy · 10-06-2011, 09:58 PM

We've got the woodshop as well, teak would be very nice but too rich for my blood especially for my truck lol

After looking at your truck the red of the African Padauk wood, would look nice, however hard maple coated with spar var would look nice as well and a lot less expensive.
