After talking to Del I think I will leave the bed the way it is. I don't want to much going on in the bed. Also Bedwood was nice enough to sponsor Tootsie and putting the plexi in the center will take away from the wood. Please tell me what you think

I think the issue I have it this wood is so nice and i would have to redo the whole bed to get a view under the floor and I dont really want to redo it. I have tons of hrs in the bed. I was planning on making showing the truck on race ramps with mirrors under it so people could see the chassis. What do you guys think?

After seeing your pictures disregard everything I just said. Keep the wood floor. Beautiful.

That is what I think I am going to do

Dinos63 · 05-22-2013, 12:36 PM

very nice!!

Chvy2NV · 05-22-2013, 01:06 PM

Wood. And like you said. You could always raise the truck to show the chassis.

I like the way it looks now too. If you wanted to put plexi in you could do it just behind the tailgate. It isn't the same as an overhead view, but it would save you from having to set up a display at every show.

I like that idea, put the tailgate down and let people look in below the false floor. But, it would be another surface you'd have to clean from under the bed in order to be able to see through it. I understand Tootsie will be trailered most places, but if it gets driven, even a little, there is a possibility that dust could stick to, or scratch the plexi.

As always, Tootsie's looking beautiful. I'd also vote to keep the wood bed.

**superflysteiny** · 05-22-2013, 01:59 PM

Wood it is,

I will have the bed finished in the next three weeks. Painted detailed and back on.

**oldman3** · 05-22-2013, 01:08 PM

Eric, the wood is beautiful so I vote to keep it. The mirrors will show the chassis well enough for most people...Jim

**superflysteiny** · 05-23-2013, 01:41 AM

10:39 here in northern Cali. Here is the bed fitted and ready for the painter.

Thanks I am glad I asked

**67cheby** · 05-22-2013, 03:39 PM

Love the wood, don't make it to busy with the plexi, in my opinion !

69CST-V · 05-22-2013, 03:59 PM

I think you should build one of each. I will be kind enough to use the one you decide against. LOL

I vote wood only no glass.

mcbassin · 05-22-2013, 04:10 PM

the bed looks incredible!

**superflysteiny** · 05-22-2013, 04:58 PM

Thanks guys I guess it will stay the way it is

truckzilla · 05-22-2013, 06:03 PM

That wood is uber gorgeous! The only thought I might offer is to make the two center planks out of identically milled Lexan so that a window into your madness is offered when at shows and such! Merely a passing thought.

That wood looks great but that is really an odd placement for the logo!
