Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build

Hey guys been gettin more work on the bed done lately but since I'm getting closer now I was just curious on what anyone knew about the wood beds in these things I have the original wood and it looks like they've painted it possibly? and there are also a few planks that have split and arched over time. Now I've heard that soaking the arched end in water will give them the ability to flex and I'll just need to clamp them down to a point to get them to stay. Now after that I will most likely plane them to get a solid surface again and then stain them a light tint to give them a sealer is their any opinions or ideas to help with this process?? much appreciated
