Wood bed assembly
What is the best way to assemble a wood bed? On the truck or off?

Re: Wood bed assembly
I'm at the same stage. My bed is off-I've done the body work and it's ready for paint. I plan to paint the bed while it's off the truck, install wood, then mount it to chassis. I rigged up my chain hoist so it shouldn't be too hard.

Re: Wood bed assembly
Off is by far easier. Suspended my box after the wood was installed, then drove right under it while some friends lined up to rebolt it to the frame.
Here is a before and after.
