It started life first delivered in South Dakota, then moved to Wyoming, then Tennessee, where bought it from a fellow soldier. I’ve only driven it North of the Ohio River once, in the summer, and very seldom drive it in the winter months (I have three other vehicles).
On my bed wood:
First I went to a Lumber yard and Hand picked each Southern Yellow Pine board.
I cut and routered The boards using the measurements from GMC Paul’s.
For the stain I kicked around maybe staining it a shade of Green, to sorta match the Medium Olive body color, but went with a combo of stains (then covered it with Boiled Linseed Oil to protect it) to make a color that’s close to the wood grain color inside the cab. I’m going to paint my bed strips Medium Olive, so my vision is to tie the colors together.
I hope I didn’t bore anyone, but that’s my plan.

I like hearing the plan. Gives me some ideas for mine. Funny thing is here in Arizona the time to drive our trucks is in the winter. The weather right now is great and all the classics are starting to show up on the roads.
