Re: 965 gmc long bed wood

Go to a commercial lumber yard and buy your pine wood their, lowes and home depot are 3 times higher. We bought the pine for my 66 for $55.00 then cut it to Mar-K dimensions and it worked like a charm......I did cheat a little, got to pick thru a new load of pine myself and cherry picked the best boards......Kieth

looked like this finished:

like this as we installed:

like this as we initially processed it and trimmed with table saw, and cut groves with dado blade:

we did have to modify the cuts later and make the grove deeper and wider to the outside of the board just to get some wiggle room.

laid it out before painting to check fit:

I used the GMC Paul's dimensions, they were perfect.
