Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
My '67 bed wood looks like it was painted black... is that how it was from the factory? Anyways, sorry for the question, now show me some wood!
Whoops! That didn't sound right, I mean show me some wood in your bed. Er, this is awkward...

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
Here's mine... Oak wood with 6 coats of marine finish. We brushed on the first five (sanding in between) and sprayed the last coat to get a smooth finish.

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
I just can't seem to keep mine looking that nice since I haul things in mine. Coolers. chairs, canopy, over night bags, etc.

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
If you slide something onto your bed it will have an effect on the strips. Mine are stainless and pretty tuff. My strips are a shade higher than the wood itself.

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
I'm getting ready to refinish my wooden bed. What is the best product to use for protecting the wood?

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
There are many thread discussing best finish.
see http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=391890 and http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=383476. Also see wood finish testing at http://www.mar-k.com/installation_hints.html to see which finish to NOT USE.

Re: 67 72 wood floor fleet swb
