Re: Bed wood finish

Depending on how you use your truck and how much it is exposed to the elements (including temperature and humidity swings in your region), linseed oil may work well.

I went with Mar-K's pine kit since my truck went over my weight goals. I did a flame burnish then a red mahogany stain. I finished it with satin marine urethane. In my case, I wanted something that was as close to maintenance-free as possible.
