I believe your truck bed looks fantastic. I'm well aware of tung oil as my grand parents used it all the time to refinish furniture. I need to do my bed in the future and am also thinking of using Pine. I know the beds, wood & strips both were painted from the factory, but the finish looks great. Did you paint the strips? It's hard to tell in the pictures. I'm anxious to see how it does over time. Thanks for taking the time to write this article and posting the picture.
