Re: Wife's 48
Thanks, and you are correct about cargo.

Re: Wife's 48
What wood are you using and what stain? I will be doing my wood in the near future. Steve

Re: Wife's 48
I will post pictures of what I used later, but I used white oak and a medium dark stain covered with 3 coats of spar varnish all the way around.

Re: Wife's 48
Well mom, I made my bed!
![]() We are really pleased with the color and the look. Laura helped me bolt it in, man what a PITA, but no bad words were said while I was under the truck trying to get all those washers, lock washers and nuts in place. I was asked what I used. I started with white oak bed wood, and here is a picture of the stuff I used to get it this color. ![]()

Re: Wife's 48
10 out of 10 all the way around, Beautiful truck, Great color...excellent seat, bed wood is terrific. What was that about stretching metal when welding, about 7 yrs ago. Seems like ya nailed it. As for painting yes you can, YouTube does have some good video's ( paint society's) explains getting the gun adjusted. Might have to build a spray booth, plastic sheets in your shop, etc.

Re: Wife's 48
Thank you, Jan, and Notsolo. It was Laura's choice on colors and she did good. I have learned a LOT on this truck, and still learning as I get back on the 54.
57fleetside, pine won't take stain very well, as it has so much sap, but if you want it darker you can stain it some.
