Re: Replacing wood bed question

http://www.gmcpauls.com/47-72_BedWood_Info.htm

This is pretty easy to do yourself if you have a few common woodworking tools,
I made all my wear strip cuts with a table saw.

A is obviously your board dimension thickness

B is 1/4" deep

C is also 1/4"

D is 1/2"

E is 1/8 "

B and E can be adjusted slightly if you want your wear bar to sit a little higher

Board dimension widths are as follows for a stepside

Late 1960 to 1972 Stepside - 8 Boards
3 1/8" 7 7/16" 7 7/16" 5 7/16" 5 7/16" 7 7/16" 7 7/16" 3 1/8"

And the following for the fleetside

Late 1960 to 1972 Fleetside - 12 Boards
2- 6 3/8"* 7 7/16 7 7/16 7 7/16 5 7/16 5 7/16 7 7/16 7 7/16 7 7/16 2- 6 3/8"*
* = One board in front of wheelwell, one board behind

And the following info is board length

1967-1972 1/2, 3/4 T Short Bed Step Side 77 1/8"
1967-1972 1/2, 3/4 T Long Bed Step Side 97"
1967-1972 1/2, 3/4 T Short Bed Fleet Side 77 1/8"
1967-1972 1/2, 3/4 T Long Bed Fleet Side 97"
1967-1972 1/2, 3/4 T Longhorn Bed Fleet Side 103"

All this info was copied off GMC Paul's website
