HI All!

Here is a pic of the Wood bed I just put in, hope pic turns out.
I will next do the spray on bedliner for the inside bed walls and then have the whole under side undecoated for a nice daily driver and work truck here in Pensacola, FL

I can dig it! I admire you for going back with the strips with bolts. This time around I opted for the the "wow" strips where the heads of the bolts are not exposed. I like the uniform look of yours! Plus, it's a stepper! Even better.

Hey, thats a neat idea with the wood bed and the liner walls. Post more pics when your done, my stepper is in need of a new bed too...

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-05-2006, 09:43 PM
