Re: Black wood beds!!!! Pics Please
Looks great Willy!!!! One thing I found out is dye will make the wood black in one coat, BUT, in the sun, dye has a gray tint to it, which is why I sanded that, and left it fairly dark, then stained it with ebony to make it more black, than charcoal.
Great job on your bed! |

Re: Black wood beds!!!! Pics Please
The truck is a '66 3/4 ton with a 305E V-6 engine and Powerglide transmission . It has 27,xxx original miles and is about as complete and untouched as you will find. It still has the original paint and the interior is completely intact. It's got some rust in the lower front fender corners and plenty of small chips and scratches, but it is a survivor.
Rather than highjack this thread, I'll start a new thread and post some more pictures. In the meantime, you can see a picture of the full truck on this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=482252 |

Very Nice Job! I'm doing mine out of "Bloodwood", natural finish, probably apply about 8 coats of hand-rubbed Tung Oil for a light sheen, then install stainless bed strips and bolt kit. I'll post pics when done.

Re: Black wood beds!!!! Pics Please
Never heard of the bloodwood finish. Sounds like it'll be sharp. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Bloodwood is an exotic hardwood from South America. Its very dense, weighing about 5 lb/bd.ft. It is very beautiful though, had blood-red, dark orange & black streaks. I know it isn't the factory look, but it should look awesome when done. I'll definetly post pics when I get it completed.

Re: Black wood beds!!!! Pics Please
...so I found a set of nos bed wood in my dads shop... they are black, look to have come from gmc, and the part # is 036060660-I think.... I will have to get a pic.
so the bundle has 4 pieces with the nos wrapper, and then there is one wider piece (about 2 inches) that is loose.....they are 8ft/lwb any idea what it might fit? I am thinking long step? but lmc lists long step to have 8 pieces, and I only have 5.... or maybe it is a partial kit and some is missing? ..I know, I know I will get a pic of it!! :lol: |

Finished up another black bed floor for dads truck today. It's a pine kit from Trucks USA with stainless hardware.

Way more functional than pretty. One day I will put real board in their vice the marine grade plywood, but it will probably always be black cause I tend to haul things and don't want to worry about ruining a finish.
