Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Put in new bed wood. I used pressure treated southern yellow pine boards. I had a hard time finding boards that were wide enough. Had to by 1 x 10 x 16' boards from a dock supply place. Painted both sides with POR15 and finished the tops with Rustoleum Hunter Green. I used the dimensions from the GMC Paul website, and the boards don't seem wide enough. the gaps between them are very wide. Looks good though, definitely better than it was before. I used gloss paint, probably should have gone with Satin.
Still have to bolt down the bed, and tighten up the 4553 bolts that are in it.
