Classicparts woodbed quality - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,
been searching the forums for the best woodbed kit for price vs quality, and it seems mar k would be the way to go but the shipping to CA adds another $160 to the price! Lmc are bout the same price without the shipping tag, but then I seen classic parts woodbed is $150 cheaper but is cheaper in quality too?
Has anyone seen or installed one there woodbeds?
They seems to have cheaper stuff in most things compared to lmc.

I have seen two of Mar-K bed kits installed and they were very nice and without flaws.

You may look into having a local wood shop cut and finish your wood, it was cheaper for me to have this done years ago when I did mine.

I got my wood from Classic parts....went w/oak w/predrilled holes. All stainless hardware came from Mar-K.

When I went looking for my bedwood, Mar-K had a 10% off with free shipping going on. I didn't think they'd ship 8-foot bedwood to CT for free but they did.

Maybe that'll come around again? Dunno...

Hey thanks for the input !
Woogeroo i never knew there was a review board just been using search so thanks.
Rbar i called local wood guys in Sydney but in Australia its more expensive thanks though.
1963c-10 That looks great and i put my order in today found a discount code online *stovebolt* and got 10% off !!!
Mar-K might have been better but don't have the time for the parts to get there before export date.
