Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
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

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
After seeing your pictures disregard everything I just said. Keep the wood floor. Beautiful.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Wood. And like you said. You could always raise the truck to show the chassis.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
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.

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

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Eric, the wood is beautiful so I vote to keep it. The mirrors will show the chassis well enough for most people...Jim

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
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. |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
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.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
That wood looks great but that is really an odd placement for the logo!
