ME Original long-step bed wood (used) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Shaky · 05-29-2015, 02:06 PM

I bought a '67 long-step from the original owner. He had put a steel plate over the bed wood shortly after purchasing the truck. You can see the truck in the 67 C20 build thread in my sig line.

During restoration, I pulled that plate and saw the original paint on the wood. There is one hole, approximately 3/8" through one board where he had a bolt through. Apparently he did not want the 1/4" steel plate flying away.

I was originally going to reuse the boards, so I washed the undersides and applied spar varnish to the undersides only. The paint job was coming out so well that the painter threatened to not finish the job if I didn't go with new wood.

So I have the original southern yellow pine wood with most of the original paint on it and spar varnish on the underside.

This ad is for the wood only.

I'm asking $90.00 and I range down as far as CT sometimes so we may be able to work out something on delivery.

Between the steel plate, spare starters and alternators, the air-horn contraption, and the metric-ton of grease and goo on everything; I'll bet the truck shed 500 pounds after I got it!
