Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?

that deffinately took some time
you should pick that up that thing is a peice of art
also it could look cool if you or a woodshop repaired the wood where it needed to be stiped the whole thing down and put a nice stain and clear coat on it, that is if it has a nice grain to it and if a good wood worker(like a carver or a boat builder) should be able to put a skin over the old wood to give it a nice grained look and it would be a real conversation peice on a truck and it the truck was a similar color to the stain chosen for the bed it could actualy look really neat on a nice restored truck
but also it could just look like crap
cool find either way
