Project: 1967 C10 Small Window

I wonder if that black is really wood? It might be some composite or plastic?

I actually think that black business looks bad-a$$. It seems practical too if it is some kind of plastic. I really dig the antiqued wood too tho. Mine will see full time weather from all seasons and that's the most concerning topic for me. I really don't want to pull apart and refinish bedwood to keep it looking ( . )( . ) every few years. I've heard that painted wood holds up the best, but the stained/finished wood looks the best. What to do!!!

[jlsanborn]

Where'd you find that pic of the red truck with the black bedwood? Let's contact that bad-dude and find out what he has in there!

Tip* grab and drag the picture to another tab opened to google images...

[jlsanborn]

Tractorbynet! I'm on there too!

[jlsanborn]

I tried that click and drag thing to Google Images and no-worky. I'm on XP with IE8 here. A link would be awesome if you can help!

[1985-GMC]

Well im on vista with firefox so maybe that's why?

[NewType72]

meant to be lighter in my wood color even with natural toner it turned dark for some reason oh well my bed will be entirely red inside next time i paint the truck so I'll have plenty of time to look into more woodworking tricks

[David67]

Decided to go with red oak!! even though it's very common, it looks good and should go with the red very nicely. We ordered the wood, polished bed strips (visible fasteners), and a bolt kit from Mar-K today!! I've heard nothing but good things about them.

He's back! Right on man, looking forward to this thing finished. Be sure and put up some good pictures when you assemble that bed!

hahaha yea sorry about that. Don't worry I'll get plenty of pics through the process! Nothing's really been done since I've been at school. This will be some pretty good motivation though.

hmmmmmm

I hope to see this truck in person one day. I'm right down the road in Tomball. Mine has been a slow start but I must say yours is quite inspiring. I'm stuck in the static vs. air and 6-lug vs. 5-lug swap stage right now.

Sorry guys I'm doing what I can!
On the bright side, my brother just texted me saying he was about to weld in the angle strips. High build comes after that! Can't say I'm looking forward to bodyworking a stepside bed...

I just checked the niftee50ees website and it looks like there are only 3 more weeks left in the season. Let me know which weekend yor're going (if you can). I wonder if other board members go to that show. I'd take my truck but it's not registered yet.

I don't think I'll be back til the 10th...might be the last night? I think it's been about the 17th in the past. I'll let you know when I go if I can make it out there! I'd rather wait til it has a bed, but we'll see. There's a good number of board members that go!

trying to warm up this thread a little

[bigblock68]

nice work!!

[bossmanivy]

I really like the direction you've gone with your build. And the fact that you and your brother have done everything yourselves makes it even cooler. I look forward to seeing the rest of the build.
