SgtSquishySquash Belt Fed Registered: 01/24/17 Posts: 1954 Loc: VA City or County: Dinwiddie & Henrico	Oak wood bed finally done. Rough cut oak boards. I used old power line pole cross arms for the cross members.[b][/b] As well as color matched the steel wheels to the body. Chrome trim rings and black ford center hubcaps. And tail lights of course.

Cash is King Nice guy... NO MORE Registered: 09/15/11 Posts: 6205 Loc: Various City or County: Various	Nice job... IMHO, band the bed with steel and matching blue. BMG metal out of Richmond will deliver. I'm redoing my 8'x 20' trailer in 8/4 sweet gum. Wood makes a great wearing surface. Your old bed probably has $400-$500 in value... Being that old. Perfect color choice. FYI... 2wd and a light rear... Be careful she doesn't get stuck in a small puddle. _________________________ IF you spend your lifetime acting the victim, your Participation Trophy will ALWAYS be a Busted Nose.

SgtSquishySquash Belt Fed Registered: 01/24/17 Posts: 1954 Loc: VA City or County: Dinwiddie & Henrico	Update. Sanded it down in spots Fades from blue to grey primer to original white to burgandy/brown primer to bare metal. Salt, vinegar, peroxide mixture sprayed on bare metal at 15 min intervals created the surface rust. Boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits at ration 10:1 sealed it to prevent further corrosion. Re painted parts of the grille and the bumper antique white. As well as trim rings Steel wheel painted red. Patina mo meaner.
