The bed... Found some 3/4" plywood at my neighbors that he told me I could have. Was in ok shape, except for some minor staining (cool!) After cutting it to length and the wheel openings, I knocked it down smooth with my buffer and some 80 grit
Taking the idea of my friend Billy, I took a chain to the wood and beat the crap out of it to give it a distressed look
A little gunstock brown stain, drenching it Thompsons water seal
it still looks really old, but is now waterproof too.
Set it in the bed to drill the mounting holes, but figured I'd show it ice chest and all...
