pleased with it so far but need to address the rotten bed, its a later bed 1972 bed and shipping the wood pre cut is out of the question from the states to me in the Uk. has anyone got plans of the planks layout and sizes for this year of bed? |

Re: Progress from the Uk..plus help needed
The stepside wood should be pretty simple I'd think where there's no wheel wells to account for. I'd looked at doing my own for a former project and it looked really simple (as long as you have the right tools for the job of course).

Looks like it. Bed should be about 6.5' long, or ~2 meters.

Re: Progress from the Uk..plus help needed
I used GMC Pauls diagrams and a table saw with a stacking dado blade. Worked like a charm. You'll need some guides and an extra set of hands to keep your boards nice and straight.
