80BIG10 · 07-18-2005, 11:13 AM

both of those are very impressive!

gldevall · 07-18-2005, 11:17 AM

Looks good. Were stepsides only available with the wood flooring?

Overcamber · 07-18-2005, 10:51 PM

Looks damn good!

boxrodz · 07-19-2005, 12:10 AM

Overcamber, ditto on what everyone said. Looks like a million bucks.

Yours look good too, 75stepside. I like the grain pattern. One question though: Is the middle plank darker than the others? Regardless, great execution.

Turbo85GMC · 07-19-2005, 09:12 AM

They both look awesome!

Stepsides, long and short versions had the wood floor option, as did the long bed fleetsides. The only one that didn't have the wood floor option were short bed fleetsides.

Both of your wood beds look awesome guys...simply awesome!!!

hobbz · 07-20-2005, 02:27 PM

ya, that's just how the wood turned out... so, i made sure to put the darker plank in the middle... and not just some random board in the mix!

screwballl · 07-21-2005, 10:03 AM

both of those look gorgeous!!! i was looking to do that as a custom setup in my 76... but time and money is not exactly on my side...
keep up the good work guys!

78chevstepside · 07-21-2005, 11:25 PM

I redid mine a couple of summers ago. I bought my oak from a lumber yard. milled down and grooved. finished in marine varnish.
