Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I got bed rails for Christmas. Thought I would mock it up before I started bolting everything down. I took me half the day to drill holes in one angle strip cover and install it.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Went from steel plate over the wood to factory specs. My dad and I cut, routed, and stained the wood ourselves. Used the bed strips I had in the truck since they were still in good enough shape and got new bolts all around. Completed this part of the project over the summer, and not long after used it to snag a fridge for my dorm room. I added some tie down points since there weren't any down low from the factory.
All the info on this forum has helped me a ton since I bought the truck, thanks everyone.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Ipe...or Brazilian Walnut...Super hard, weathers to a grey if you don’t oil it. Has to be drilled when used as a deck material to put fasteners in it. Stuff is so hard and dense it don’t float. Found it in 3.5, 5.5 and 7.25 widths and it works in the original mounting holes, you do have to trim the 3.5 down a bit to tuck it under the two side strips so the holes show up. Adds a little more weight, but that should just give a better ride for our coil spring trucks. Buying the boards and routing the grooves for the strips myself was cheaper than all pre drilled oak kits I could find. And I hid the bed/frame bolts by inserting the bolts heads into the board’s underside with a forstner bit. Stacked head dado cutter on table saw, two passes for the strip insets...picts of a test board...
