Re: Original wood beds
Picked up a stepside bed off a 1968 orange donor truck at Pull a part and the wood that was left was painted to match the body color.

Wow that is cool. I never knew that info about the wood being painted the same color as body.

Re: Original wood beds
I have a 71 C20 and looking at puttin the bed on without he wood temporarily....
So as long as you put spacers where needed (in place of wood). You can run the truck safely without the wood and the bed fully assembled? Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Original wood beds
Or just get a couple of sheets of 4x8 3/4" ply and use a jig saw to cut the pattern bolt it up and that way you dont have to strategically place, and you have a surface that is actually useable. :)

Re: Original wood beds
thanks everyone, I'm going to go with pine and paint it the color of my truck. Did they paint the underside of the wood floor or just black it out ?
|
Re: Original wood beds
I think they painted the underside black.
|
Re: Original wood beds
The bed boards were sealer dipped prior to assembly (the black color) then they were painted body color on the topside.

original wood bed, used to be painted dark olive, but the paint is long gone mostly. I think dad put used motor oil on it and that's preserved it very well. I like the dark wood color. 1971 custom camper 20 longhorn

I had the bed cleaned out on my Longhorn today and took a pic of the original wood bed.
