I got a can of industrial floor paint for my truck bed, it is black and is holding up fairly well. Got it from the local paint store.

Wooden Bed
I am buying new oak boards for a '70 long bed fleetside. I intend on using the truck for regular duty ( nothing too crazy ) and I need some advise on how to treat the wood. I read in the Mark K catqalog that is you want to use the truck paint is the way to go. My questions are, what kind of paint, how many coats etc?
Thanks in advance. ------------------ |

Your wood should be dry, dry, dry before covering with any sealant. Any water inside is where rot will begin. And if you seal water in then it will rot from the inside out. When sealing, make sure every square inch of wood is covered, especially the cut edges. I would pre-drill the wood for the bolts and then seal those holes too before installing.
A thick coat of marine varnish or enamel would preserve the deck for a long time. But any damage (dents, scratches etc.)along the way should be repaired to ensure long life. ------------------ Southpa 1970 GMC 1500 Custom Victoria, BC, Canada
