well it's only temp. on, and i have some minor things to do underneath before I take back apart to paint and seal.
but i couldn't help it,
i had to set some of the old junk up on the bed that i plan to strap down and keep there once it's complete. The green thing is a cooler, the brass is a fire extinguisher. I've also have 2 old wooden beer bottle crates i plan to do something with.

I'm starting to think i might stain the oak board before i seal them, not as dark as that wooden toolbox, but a little. any thoughts on that?

 

I always look forward to your posts. You do amazing work.

The bed is looking really good. Way back when I was going to mount and old cooler like that in my bed and use it a a battery/tool box. Those plans changed but I still like the look of those old coolers.

That is one tough looking truck!

The bed is really taking shape; as Bobby said you do nice work. Hard not to be excited when it looks so dang good.

That looks really nice! Good work.

 

Very nice!!!

 

Looks good. very nice work.

 

That is a great looking rig . I think staining the wood is a good idea . Darker wood just seems to go better with these old trucks . If you put on a coat of clear oil and then put on the stain you can achive a more uniform appearance .
