WOW.....

the pics of the body line not going down made me think it was an argintinian (sp?) truck. Then I saw the rest. I just don't know what to say about that. Had to have taken some time to make it look like it wasn't wood.

Maybe the truck belonged to Norm Abrams. "Today in the New Yankee Workshop, we are going to build an antique truck bed. For a measured drawrring of this project..."

that's awesome.

If it ever gets scrapped, i wonder how pissed the scrap metal place will be once they realized they paid steel prices for wood. that bed has to way a ton compared to steel.

Being a southwest truck, it makes one wonder if it rolled up from Mexico or South America. GM de Mexico made some weird trucks. Seems too perfect even for the most talented hard core wood hobbyist but I couldn’t imagine that being mass produced either. Whatever it is, it is the craziest thing I ever saw on one of these trucks.

Wouldn’t be funny to learn it is George Barris’s secret ’67 Chevy truck he had wood for. :lol:

I bet he was not even a truck or car guy , and thought nothing of it, he just did it because he knew he could,i think its awsome .

I missed the fact that there were 3 pages... I now see that it was not only cought, but explained too.

That's something I would expect to see in NY, Oh, PA, etc... but Nevada? I guess he wanted a challenge :D

I have to admit, that impresses the heck out of me. Sounds like the guy just liked doing work like that, the shifter deal was just another thing he did that he thought was neat, quaint, etc etc.

Impressive work! Someone put a ton of time in it!

I had to keep looking at it.. wow thats a lot of work.. I helped my dad create a wood bed on a old truck,, it was just some 4x4s and then some 2x6s nailed down to create a redneck flatbed! LOL

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

after having my truck for over 18 years, i thought i had seen it all ,,but now i'm amazed that building one out of wood could be done this way,:metal:(now i have dreams of building my own bondo truck, maybe a 97 silverado would look nice in ceder) . all the rest of my entry will be just "WOW", "AMAZING", wood shop teacher ,maybe. :chevy:

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

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

Wow! Should be preserved and put in a museum! Or would make a great casket for the ultra die-hard enthusiast that's gone to the great beyond;):dohh::truck:!

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