Re: Bedwood/bed floor ideas ond pictures
If it's for show and not hauling I'd be thinking some sort or graphic, pinstripping, etc.

Re: Bedwood/bed floor ideas ond pictures
Ok...Mine isn't an older truck like yours but still has wood so I thought I would throw it out at you all. I used oak with automotive black thinned down and then shot 10 coats of clear over it. Tons of sanding in between each layer. This was more work than the body work! lol

Re: Bedwood/bed floor ideas ond pictures
Carefully cut and pasted the floor out of a dakota. It's the right length and the wheel wells lined up. Most S10 floors are too short and have to be extended.
