80 stepside wood bed dimensions?

[vegas80step]

I've searched the site and the net and can find exactly what I'm looking for up to 72' but can not find the wood bed dimensions for an 80'

Anyone have them, or a link?

The place in town wants $350 for the wood kit and $140 to ship it.

So do you need just the length, width, thickness? Or all the slotted sides and bed mounting bolt locatins too?

Trust me it worth spending when you can find a little better deal. I may still put my table saw to work before I buy a wood kit. The wood alone around here runs about $260. Cutting it up to fit is pretty labor intensive.

have you looked at these people http://www.classicparts.com/Wood/products/340/.. 350 is not a bad price IF it includes the metal required.. i have dealt with classic and to date everything they have sent me has been out of the park on quality..

from what i read, my 73 uses the same wood as your 80...

Long bed is 50" x 8 feet I think.

I need the width of each board, I'd take the bolt locations if ya had them. But I'm assuming I could figure those out. think I'd still rather spend $260 and do it myself. I'm pretty good with a table saw and/or a router. thanks for the input and any more info you may have.

The $350 is just the wood, and another $30 if you want the bolt holes counter sunk. (which I could just do when it got here) I'll check out that link, thanks.

I found a few web sites which in depth details all the way to 72... is there a change between 72 and 73?

the boards i took out of my 73 step were 6 inches wide.. i priced red oak at the lowes yesterday and you could save maybe 40 percent routing the wood and drilling the holes over the price i saw at classic.. if you want pine the price is way lower.. i assume 350 was the oak..

The $350 was Oak, I might just break down and buy the kit... It would be cool do cut it myself but, I'm pretty busy with work. If I factor in the time off of work, it ends up being cheaper to buy the kit... looks like the kit wins (this round) thanks for the input and info.

I've been out here for about 10 years, I hated the first 2, & now I wouldn't live any where else. Where else does $50 bucks keep every speeding ticket off your record??

Update... broke down and ordered th wood kit... should be here in 10 days. After spending days thinking about this and trying to say a few bucks, I went to home depot and spend $100 on wood stain samples to find the color I want... lol

Funny how my brain works, it didn't want to spend the cash on the wood kit. But didn't give two thoughts about spending cash to get the right stain color. oh the joins of rebuilding a truck...
