Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I wanted something that still looked old, but was still wood and could be used. The steel plate that was in there was just plain ugly. Here's the before and afters.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Can you put a sealer over the burnt wood and what happens if you sand it? Does that also work with oak? I really like the way it looks and wanted to try it on my oak wood and then try to seal it instead of using stain.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Thanks guys. I didn't seal this stuff, because this was a very quick deal. I may go back through and clean it up and seal and/or stain it. Haven't really decided yet.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Looking for advise. This is what my bed looks like now. My original plan was to install white powder coated bed strips to match the inside of the bed and have oak wood. But I am rethinking that idea and might go with the polished stainless strips. What do you all think would look best?

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I took the inspiration you all gave me from this website and embarked on raising my bed floor up 3-3/4" to be able to route fuel filler hose and vent hose better and out of the bed floor. So enter a 1987 square body longbed donor bed, rust free, and many, many cutting wheels later. I'm still not 100% done, but close enough to post up what I did. I followed Robber Grins idea to raise the bed sills up, thank you! And then started measuring and cutting, and more cutting.
