Bed - Wood Restoration
I'm trying to work through replacing the bed in my F-1. The metal is to far gone to save as well as the wood beneath it. I am trying to keep the aged look and so using new wood or metal is not an option. I thought that if I could salvage the wood from a couple of other restoration projects I might be able to piece together a bed that looks appropriate for this ole truck.

My Question is what years did the big three use exposed wood in their beds?

I would suggest finding someone with a metal detector and someone with a thickness planer. In that order....
