wood bed.

hey guys any thoughts on easy cheapest way to build a wood bed on my 87 f150 4x4. and that probably would be the best time to swap out and repair any issues with tanks huh.

You may need to check your local laws if you plan using a wood bed long term.

I only say this because I know a guy that built a nice low profile bed for his 84 F150, but then he couldn't get it through inspection.
They said he had to have it certified before they would pass it. So now the truck sits parked.

Certified for what?? Termite free, Dutch Elm disease, didn't come from the Gibson guitar factory?

Unfortunately I don't know the details, that is just what he told me. PA seems
pretty strict though compared to other states when it comes to inspections.
