**Palf70Step** · 04-12-2008, 05:11 PM

Very Nice!!!!!

70c10 · 04-12-2008, 05:38 PM

Your truck looks awesome! Any install pics?

**SactoJim** · 04-12-2008, 05:40 PM

Fricken beautiful!........We need to see some more pics of the whole thing.

You've been flying under my radar cuz I don't recall seeing much on your ride.

Give it up!

BB72CHEVKT · 04-12-2008, 05:43 PM

Perfect!

**70cst** · 04-12-2008, 06:05 PM

Sooooooooooooooo...what are you going to haul? I would be afraid to even step into the back bed: Very very nice truck!!

b&a72 · 04-12-2008, 06:09 PM

I love that truck!

68Mike · 04-12-2008, 06:15 PM

So this "deck" just lays in the bed like a bed liner? Looks good...

70GMCer · 04-12-2008, 06:26 PM

That sure is pretty.........I just don't have a grand to spend.

72BlckButy · 04-12-2008, 09:34 PM

I love the show deck... I always wondered what one would look like in a 67-72 C/10, and now I know.

That looks sweet!

Here's a link for Bruce Horkey's Wood and Parts if you are interested.

jkaylor68gmc · 04-12-2008, 10:45 PM

Is that the one that is two peice and simply lays over the existing floor or cross sills. If so I think I am gonna get one for the 47

see ten · 04-12-2008, 10:47 PM

That's a sweet floor for a tough truck!

7DEETWO · 04-12-2008, 11:14 PM

Lays on top of the existing floor, fits like a glove.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-13-2008, 12:27 AM

Very cool!

ChevLoRay · 04-13-2008, 12:32 AM

What about beds that have been "rhino'd"? How much "play" is there in the fit from side-to-side and front-to-back?

I would think it would fit like a glove, but also think that there would be some tolerance.

By the way, your truck is clean....as we used to say back in the day.

7DEETWO · 04-13-2008, 04:40 AM

Prior to varnishing and final install you dry fit the deck. At that point you can sand down the edges for that perfect fit. Remove the deck then varnish.

c10crazy · 04-13-2008, 04:49 AM

Looks awesome. How is it all held together?. Is this something that could be made by a do-it-yourselfer?. Do they sell the strips and planks seperately?

7DEETWO · 04-13-2008, 06:33 AM

The wood strips are held to the six piece C Channel Sub frame, with the skid strips. I guess you could build on yourself. I think only an experienced wood craftsman could pull it off.

powell72 · 04-13-2008, 06:58 AM

You don't notice just glancing at it that it's a deck, looks good.
I don't recall seeing your truck before, how'd I miss it? It's beautiful.

67_C-30 · 04-13-2008, 07:17 AM

That looks great!

I was thinking maybe build your own c channel frame and just buy the planks and stainless strips.
