Cant wait to see the bed floor!!

**superflysteiny** · 10-23-2011, 12:56 PM

up date: new glove box and emblem, new plate in the rear, sneak peak at what the wood will look like and the steering wheel.

**superflysteiny** · 10-23-2011, 12:58 PM

I am going to restore the tricycle for the bed of the truck. The wood will look rustic. Let me know what you guys think.

big_al_71 · 10-23-2011, 01:06 PM

I think the wood finish will match very good with the black paint on the truck.....

**superflysteiny** · 10-23-2011, 01:14 PM

Thanks I am trying to do it different.

VA72C10 · 10-23-2011, 03:59 PM

Looking good!

**67cheby** · 10-23-2011, 04:34 PM

looking KILLER

1stchevy · 10-23-2011, 06:39 PM

IMO I think the wood will look out of place. The rest of the truck is pristine and to put wood in the bed that's rustic looking will clash with the cleanliness of the truck. If the truck was weathered or patina then it would fit the build.

I agree.
Maybe some Ebony or Red Mahogany stain with about a gallon of automotive clear to make the wood look like glass.
And stainless bed strips,... of course.

Mmmmm Hmmmm...

Or even

But then again every thing else you have done looks fantastic so I maybe I should just shut up. lol

kvn1011 · 10-23-2011, 08:39 PM

I like the rustic look, but maybe put a clear over it so that it shines
i really like the way the black highlights the grain and it is different!! I'd say keep it but make it shine like glass

I have it all cut and I am going to sand blast it to give it the rough look. Then I wil stain it ebony and gloss clear. should look great. Inner fenders are being built. Mario finished painting the other glove box to match the dash and I changed the steering wheel. I will get you guys pics asap.

I think it will look cool and won't be out of place at all, especially with the gloss clear. That along with the rough liner that is currently sprayed will make it all tie together nicely. I think it would look better if you raised the floor though. Maybe you could make a temp structure to raise the lower pieces up to the height of the hump. It only needs to be framing to hold the wood up and you can use industrial magnets so you can go back if you want to later. Just a thought.

Bottom line though. Sandblasted, ebony stained & clear wood on this truck....SWEET!

I agree that the ruff cut might seem out of place. The rest of the truck is top notch the bed wood/finish needs to match.

Again splitting hairs here as the truck is plain sick.....

**superflysteiny** · 10-23-2011, 10:31 PM

The issue is the rough bed liner looks better in my opinion with the rough cut. I think the gloss will look out of place but I could be wrong

I thought you were going to do both? Rough cut and gloss clear?

JRE · 10-23-2011, 11:35 PM

Looking great. I agree leave the Rustic look with lot's of clear. Is that a hiawatha trike. I'm into collecting Prewar bicycles. Check out Thecabe.com when you get to restoring it. Lot's of good info and a parts for sale section

Cool I will thanks for the info.

65Pickup · 10-24-2011, 01:15 PM

I'll just say good luck, you've got a great eye for detail and finishing off the look. I think the ultra close up pic and the rough wood edge is complicating the decision. A clean metal edge and a pic further back will let everyone see the vision, no one will get that close to it.
I'm leaning towards smoother, but not raised.

**67cheby** · 10-24-2011, 01:22 PM

love the steering wheel and guages !!

Dinos63 · 10-24-2011, 02:58 PM

LOOKS KILLER !! I cant wait to see it in person next month, dig the plate
