I would rather do like you did by putting wide board dead center.. what width did you go with to make your boards the same?
Thanks

Thanks for the comment on the truck and to answer your question. Your must first remember that my truck has a fleetside that is much wider than a step side bed. I used 9 1/4 on an inch planks. You are correct I centered the middle board and worked my way out on each side. Oh another tip I used one of those rabbet bits with a bearing. That way you do not have to make a jig the bearing just rides along on the bottom of the outside edge of the wood being kit. I nailed a piece of pine the same thickness of the bed wood only to just keep the router balanced from side to side.
