Have any of you ever put a wooden bed in a styleside truck? I was thinking about doing all of the rust repairs on my bed then doing a spray in liner with a wooden bed.

Anybody ever done this?

 

No, but there are kits out there.....here's one(spendy)

You could probably just buy all of the pieces and do it yourself too.

 

I used oak got it from a friend for $30 bought polished ss nut kit from mar-k for I think $200 and made my own bed came out good its not hard but finding 8'+lumber is not easy if you go paint on wood could save $

I am going to do the repairs to my bed, I don't have as much damage as you. Then I am going to do Raptor Liner, and protect it well with 2 kits. My truck is being built as a driver/work truck. I want it mostly stock.

Came across article in Classic Mag. where bed liner was applied to wooden bed, which may or may not be of any interest???

I appreciate the info. I will check those out.

 

Matter of preference; having said that, have one backside and 2 65's; flareside and styleside, both used for construction and hauling on regular basis and so far replaced the flareside bed once and probly could use another in next couple years.

 

Saw this on Craigslist today. I guess someone has done it.
