I believe the dimensions are listed on gmcpauls website.

Horkeys show deck is the way to go if you want the best of both worlds.

Re: wood bed

Those are all beautiful wood beds but I use my truck as a truck. I haul things and I'm making a hidden gooseneck hitch so when I replace my wood Im using the composite deck material. Not as pretty but I will never have to replace it in my lifetime, no stain, and is very durable. I put the same thing in the floor of my skiboat in place of the plywood and carpet. Works great.


Oh and I say we go back and dig up some more 11 you post...............LOL

Re: wood bed

[QUOTE=joesgreen67;5817209]WOW! Did you really comment on a 10+ year old thread?[/QUOT]

I actually love to go back to the last page of threads and see what people wrote back then and compare to now. If anything improved. From opinions to facts. What stuff works better now than before. Good stuff and that I have alot of time on my hands. Most would wish that haha.
