Re: My 66 Project

I finally finished up the bed wood install. Started to just replace a couple boards that I thought were bad, but after looking at it, there was only like one corner board that was good haha. Then the plan was to replace with pine and paint black like factory. I didn't want a poly'd bed that I wouldn't want to throw a cooler, bicycle, or toys in. Ended up going with poplar and three coats of linseed oil. I really like the oil finish so far. I used the stock strips, just painted satin black and stainless bolts from LMC. Which they shorted me 6 bolts... but anywho. Also decided to just bolt the cross sills to the frame and not run the bolts through the wood. I think it makes for a cleaner look. I cleaned the truck up today and took a couple pics with the cell. Still need to get better pics with an actual camera haha.
