Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
I'm thinking of getting some cedar or quited maple and burning it with a torch, wire brushing it, then clear coating it. I have seen this done on multiple home improvement shows, I just dont know what they call it, and what wood would work best.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
Here's mine. I saw an earlier post where they shot a one piece bed deck with Arma Coating, but mines a little different. When I got the truck the oak bed was weathered on top, but still beautiful underneath. The truck sat outside with the PO and will with us too. The boards were just starting to cup and I didn't want to run then through a planer and clear coat them as we will be using this truck as a truck. I took the bed apart and individually shot each board with Line-X and reassembled using the stainless rails and hardware I repolished. Turned out great!

There Is a guy on here that used aluminium bleacher planks. Just can't think of the name. Hopefully someone chimes in. It is a shame it's not in here. It is absolutely awesome

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
My favorite is still Gapp's anodized aluminum bleacher boards. So industrial looking and clean. What a great idea!

Nice job on the bed wood. Oh and Coulter cool touch with the early VW deck lid hanging on the wall.

Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock
if it were a convertible "W" decklid I would be impressed. I have a volmac folding shifter for the early vw's. I sold most all my stuff last year except for the 1000 piece toy collection.
