Score of the century! nos bed wood! NOW HAVE PICS!
 
Just bought factory bed wood for a long box fleet today. The crazy thing is this is factory GM wood that was bought in 1980 for a guys truck from the chevy dealer then a week later the truck was stolen! I think I got a score, the wood has a black paint type coating on it a gm sticker on the bottom of each board, and even the box it all came in! I don't think I can even install it. Its too cool! Its all the wood!

How about not only posting pics, but also taking measurements for those wishing to put their wood skills to use.

I think the more appropriate title would have been "I got Wood!"

I'm not going to say exactly because I may decide to put in the sale section but it was cheaper than a new kit from a catalog

i can write down the dimensions if you would like. would be kinda neat to compare them to aftermarket wood kits.

If you can, check each board both sides and see if there is a date code stamped anywhere.
Thank you very much Paul

Welcome to the board (s)!!!!!!

To me, that is the best NOS find I have ever seen! I was a parts Manager at a Cevy Dealer for 11 years and didn't even know those were available from GM!

I have an uncle that worked at the dealer where this wood was bought from. he worked their for 15 years, and during the time of purchase. He dosent remember them either. Also this wood was going to bu used for fire wood in a few months if somone didnt buy it. So i guess you could say NOS SAVED!

I would sell it to someone that was looking to do a complete factory restore, unless of course thats what you are doing to your truck. New bed wood kits are probably better anyway and you should easily get enough for that NOS kit to purchase a new kit, with money left over...Nice find.

hopefully that will help stop those offering insanely low....a 450 asking price on msgross's thread and honestly your boards look to be much cleaner and darker black and no cracking that I saw...
