Wow, you took it and made a heck of a nice rig out of it. That's why I like before/after pics, makes you appreciate the completed truck a lot more when you remember where it started.

Bear;

We painted the truck in a portable garage in the driveway..Not a concours,but works for what we use it for..
Here is the floor..I had some walnut boards laying around for 25 years..Decided this would be a great place to use it up.

The bed strips are original. The truck had a galvanized steel overtop the original wood..
It likely saved the strips ,but the wood was rotten.

We use a mat overtop the wood to haul crap around.

Beautiful floor, that walnut is gorgeous. What did you use for a stain and what did you use to seal it?

[1939fiat]

Bear..I used Clear Marine varnish..sanded between coats..about 7 coats on the top ,and 3 on the underside.

We drove this truck all last winter..
Held up pretty good..

This track is under water right now..

Very cool truck - everything about it. Really dig the camper, lettering and particularly the racing discs. Once common, they're hardly ever seen anymore. Looks like it drove right out of 1965.

Those wheel disc are still available..thru "Hubcapmike"

my dad wanted it high enough so that he wouldn't be able to see the building across the street from his front door!
he was not pleased with its architecture

only the red gmc is worth fixing, which I have lined up for a project, the k20 is our dump run truck, the maroon one had the lf tire stuffed through the floor/bent the cowl, and the tan 63 is probably rusted just as bad as an east coast truck
I am trying to find more 60-63's, but they just aren't around this area, mostly 456's...

You gotta a lot nice truck out there, and couple of suburbans.
