    I just got myself a 1983 stepside and definitely needed to see this video. Seeing it was posted 2 days after i got my truck, i am glad i stumbled upon your channel. I was searching how to bag a square body c10 and watched those videos. then i seen this one. i'll be doing mine as soon as possible. the piece of plywood and twin bed slats were good enough to take out the trash, but it'll start warping soon.

    The truck bed came out great! I bought 14 reclaimed 2 x 8 southern yellow pine boards at a junk lumber store for $38. Powder coated the same strips white and polished sstl hardware kit. Filled the nail holes with clear epoxy and then hit the milled boards with some spar varnish from Lowes. It has been in my 62 (avatar) for 7 or more years now.

    I have a 1966 C10 Fleetside long bed that I'd like to restore to its former glory. Unfortunately, there is no bed board or rails left. Your video shows some light to my restoration of my truck, but I have questions about the thickness of the bed boards. I'm told 3/4" is the minimum. What do you suggest?

    What would’ve been kick ass for that color and patina of the truck, if you would’ve done a cold blue on the floor runs. I ain’t saying to use the old bone meal method of bluing, which the colors are phenomenal. Any type of hard case bluing that would have a warped color to it would’ve been sweet.

    looks great, if you really wanted a pho-tina, you could take the bed strips, carrage bolts and submerge them in vinegar for 24 hours. that will strip any galvinazation/zinc off em. then dust em with paint (like long distance, your looking for hint a color being there, then lightly sand the high points) then spray em with a mixture of 16 ounces of Hydrogen Peroxide, 2 ounces of vinegar and a tablespoon of salt. mist em a few times a day for 2-3 days before assembly. that will rust em up.

      Good-n-tight! But seriously we go through and snug all the bolts up, then wait about 4 weeks for the wood to settle and acclimate then snug all bolts clamping to the wood.

    Can you guys link the bed strips? And also, do you know how many boards I'd need for a 71 long box fleet side? I assume it's just all 8 foot boards except for the ones that have to be cut for the wheel tubs

      @@Barklen226 I don't have the link but it was a pretty easy search on LMC truck. Not sure exactly how many boards it will take, you should be able to measure the width of the bed and divided by the width of the boards you would like to use.
