Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
I looked at a variety of bed floor options.
Options:
Bed wood kit: $750 CDN
Make my own wood using composite fascia boards: $630 CDN
If I do a wood or woodesque floor, I'll need new bed floor strips and angles: $150 CDN
New steel fleetside bed floor I can cut down: $1300 CDN
Maybe find/modify a bed floor from Pick-N-Pull: $190 to $430 CDN (I'm not sure how they would price this)
Find a local bed and cut a floor out: $500+ CDN
Decision:
In the end, I can buy wood through the school wood shop at cost and make my own. So that's what I decided to do, in Red Oak. I ordered bed strips from Bill's Truck Shop in Ontario.
I intend to do a black stain, and then an oil finish so I can just keep oiling it off and on, maybe even with used motor oil since I will have some at every oil change.
