Put a new bed in my 55 a few months ago. Just be sure you seal all sides and edges after staining. If not, sun will cause moisture problems in the wood and it will not last but a year or so in decent condition. It will not be worth your time, effort and money. It is amazing what new bed wood and strips will do for the look of your truck, Have fun with all the bolts.

I use the same stuff as you did, Marine spar varnish, it works great. I put many light coats on to allow deep penetration with a light buff sanding between coats. It pretty much lasts forever.
