Here's another update on my truck. Finally got my bed made and in. Also played with the wood and milled it down and tried to make some door panels.
I'm having some clearance issues with the door relay.

The bed looks super!

codger30 · 04-06-2013, 11:36 PM

Coconut, that is one sweet looking bed, I love the look. Man, you have one really sweet ride there. You must be very proud of that. Everything about it is just right. That has to be one of the best pickups I have seen for a long time. About the only thing I would add to it, is an old school sign on the doors, but that's only my idea.
Cheers, Bryan

SCHRUMGMC · 04-06-2013, 11:42 PM

I like the Door style

Coconut-kid · 04-07-2013, 12:04 AM

Thanks guys. The wood is a distressed hand scraped flooring that I coated with satin spar varnish. It's an after thought but I'm trying to figure out if I can cut the bed a quarter in from the tailgate and add hidden hinges for access to the air ride without pulling the whole bed.

awesome truck man, However I do wonder why they made 5 windows instead of one big back one....the world may never know

**youngrodder** · 04-07-2013, 09:36 AM

Coconut-

Sharp truck I love the satin finish of the green paint. Your truck follows one of the important design elements...."less is more"

Nicely done

how did you put the wood together? did you use a kreg jig or something of that type?

Thanks Ray

Thanks Ray

For the bed I started off with sanded shop 3/4 plywood which I then glued and nailed the flooring material to. After it was all done I sealed the top, bottom and all sides with spar varnish to water proof it.
