Re: metal to wood
Basically to explain it simply, the only things that are the same. are the bedsides and wheel tubs. everything else would have to be changed.

Re: metal to wood
Mar-K parts has a conversion kit that you can look at to get the idea

Re: metal to wood
Here's the link to the Mar K site. They have everything you need brand new, but I found a wood bed for sale instead of going through the conversion. 8 bolts seemed easier to me than taking the whole bed apart.
