WOOD BED, to cover or not to cover.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was wondering what I would risk if I do not get a bed mat or a bed cover for my truck. I have a wood bed, and I don't see the point in having it covered up all the time if it's my hard work to show? I don't have a carport for it and I was wondering if it will be durable enough to last for a few years, maybe with just a bed mat. Thanks guys!!!!

If you treated the wood right it should hold up. Although i'm under the impression i'll have to re-seal my wood every year or so to keep in in top shape. If your wood isnt coated i'd coat it first offf. Otherwise it should hold up i'd think.

Sits out all the time and it has to be done every year. Sun kills it.
