Talking Bed wood progress
Thought I would throw up some pictures of my progress this weekend. All rear lights are installed and wired. I also started mounting the bed wood. Wasn't sure how the white would look, but I think it's coming together nicely....

If you would have asked, I'd have said No Way White! Glad you didn't ask, that looks fantastic.

Both. Dark Mahogany stain first, and then white Valspar paint and clear on top.

Thumbs up Re: Bed wood progress
I'm glad you posted those last pictures of the full picture of the tailgate. I really like that custom look and touch. I was going to ask if it was a reflection are something in the first picture.

The white wood and chubs look right at home with each other!

Re: Bed wood progress
wow that did turn out nice. the angle on your first pics doesnt show to much grain, but the more distant pics you can really see it...good job.
i've been thinkin on doing something similar with my wood but a whole differnt process than the way you did it.

i said it before an i'll say it again i hope my 503 turns out as nice as yours.

Have you got any pictures of how you run the gas tank filler neck?

Thanks, Lynn

Re: Bed wood progress
What gas tank cap is that? It looks like you had to countersink it to make it sit flush? I have a filler very similar but I like the look of yours better.

Re: Bed wood progress
The gas filler is for a boat. I got mine at West Marine. There are more pictures in my build thread:

Awesome thank you. Do you have any fill speed problems with the angle of the neck and the fill tube? I ran into this with my current fill neck. Is your gas tank vented?
