This guy really thought outside of the box! No...let me rephrase. This guy really thought "about" the box!

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
Forgot about this one. I'm still amazed at the work that went into it. Poor guy still didn't "think it through" though. I'm not sure how well bondo actually sticks to wood (seems to be pretty good based on the pics) but wood expands and contracts unless kept in a constant temperature and moisture environment, so it was all destined to crack off eventually.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
The amount of time that had to go into that project... wow...
I kind of have to think that whoever did this didnt originally plan on covering it in bondo and then painting it. Would have been really impressive in a nice stain. I did have to save the shift indicator picture though.... Reminded me of one of those old "You might be a redneck" jokes

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
Wow! Either the PO was so cheap that he used ONLY what he had on hand to fix a totaled out bed or...he had way too much time on his hands. Sometimes you have to think if you Should do something before you do it.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
Really amazing! So will anyone save this bed? Or get the VIN so we could see if it might ba a early prototype mock up thing or just sth home made? Either way, I think it would be worth saving and restoring!!

I don't think it is going to be saved sense this was posted in 2009. It probably got scrapped or (Burned)

I just found about 45 pics that I took that day. Most of the good ones are posted but do you think I should post the whole series?

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
NICE... I wonder
How long it took What it looked like new Could there have been a finish that would have lasted longer what the weight was compared to the steel bed. And why didn't he/she do a nice wood camper too????
