For a glossy show bed, I would look into the marine grade epoxy. The type they use on Cedar strip canoes. For a truck I was going to drive, BLO and thinner so it would soak in better. I would probably use a 25% BLO/75 thinner for first coat and then a 75%/25% second coat and allow it to soak a while before wiping.
