Hello Everyone, I am a new rookie on your forum. I just bought a 1966 Ford F100 short bed which was supposed to be junked in Edison , New Jersey. I got it to run, it has a 390 under the hood. This will be my first pick up restoration. I found a bed and ordered wood from Bed Wood and Parts. They sent me an email asking for measurement of where to drill the holes which I have no clue. Do they drill holes on wood or the strips which go between the wood are the ones holding the wood down. Please advise. I looked on YouTube and I don't see anyone drilling holes on the wood. I will appreciate your help. Thank you.

New here, loving the site so far! Lots of useful info/tips 
I'm getting my old daily driver from back in high school running again, and am turning her into a camper...hopefully! Shes a 1995 Ford Aerostar named Bertha (not the name I gave her, but it fits the van perfectly) 3.0L, RWD, not the extended cabin unfortunately, but I think that I can make this work...after all its paid for. Shes got about 148,000 miles on her and seems to be running well for a 21 year old rig that has been abused by a family of 4, and then a High school student who drove it like it was a 4 wheel drive. Considering using it as my daily driver, and keeping the Mustang parked in the garage until its nice out! Thanks for reading!

New here and new to the project truck world, I recently bought a 86 F150 XLT Lariat that is in fairly good condition. I am mostly looking for repair/restore advice and where to buy items for this project of mine. Open to suggestions to those that have already walked this mile, and I hope to learn so as to avoid wasting time and money.
Thanks in advance!
