I hope he did not have to buy all that plywood at today's prices!!!! lol did a good job though.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

The real question is did you buy it or what? Lol!! If not, can I? That thing is cherry(pun intended)!

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

If its a 1967, it my be a early factory mock up, or buck.
Can you post a pic of the vin plate?

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

i know this is a old thread but it deserves it so ttt now i have a couple of things to say
1 i saved every pic and even saved the page to my favorites
2 dangggg that took him a long time to do
3 that is so stupid ,go get one from the junkyard rattle can it and your done
4 that is actually cool, i wouldnt put it on my truck, but thats cool
5 what year is it im guessin a 67 becaucse the steering wheel and the window, you can kinda see the top from behind the bed cover ,window looks to small to be a big window and plus he didnt put marker lights in the bed
and 6 im still stuned

so everyone who hasnt seen this enjoy;)

Thanks 67,

I can now say I've seen it all :lol:
Anyone been back to the junk yard to see if it was still there?

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

no thats in nevada at a junk yard SO ITS GONERS :lol:

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Yeah, thanks. I missed it the first time around.

It is amazing considering that there should have been spare parts at junkyards I would think. The work involved took a lot of hours and probably cost more in labor than the parts -even from the dealer. A person could have mowed lawns or done odd jobs to buy the bed and come out ahead...

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Thanks for bumping this , my life is now complete. Not a 67 , he put on marker lights???.Cant believe this got 5 pages of thoughts , and a year + of response.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?

Bob vila's work truck?:lol:

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

AMAZING, SIMPLY AMAZING!! nothing esle to say.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

I had to bring this back to the top. I am still amazed at all the work that went into this wooden bed!!!

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

This guy really thought outside of the box! No...let me rephrase. This guy really thought "about" the box!

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

I would have loved to see his WOOD STOVE!

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Forgot about this one. I'm still amazed at the work that went into it. Poor guy still didn't "think it through" though. I'm not sure how well bondo actually sticks to wood (seems to be pretty good based on the pics) but wood expands and contracts unless kept in a constant temperature and moisture environment, so it was all destined to crack off eventually.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

The amount of time that had to go into that project... wow...

I kind of have to think that whoever did this didnt originally plan on covering it in bondo and then painting it. Would have been really impressive in a nice stain.

I did have to save the shift indicator picture though.... Reminded me of one of those old "You might be a redneck" jokes

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Wow! Either the PO was so cheap that he used ONLY what he had on hand to fix a totaled out bed or...he had way too much time on his hands. Sometimes you have to think if you Should do something before you do it.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Mindblowing is what it is, amazing work

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
 

Really amazing! So will anyone save this bed? Or get the VIN so we could see if it might ba a early prototype mock up thing or just sth home made? Either way, I think it would be worth saving and restoring!!
