    Hey Mike! Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement; glad you liked the calendar! Terrific job sorting out the custom box floor, and the trailer fenders look right at home once you filled the sides in... I am with you on the wooden floor too; it just looks right on these old pickups! All the very best as always from me and Miss Frankers...

    Scott at ColdWarMotors is a classy fella. The "boogie van" is his paint job. The 60 Fury splice is my favorite. He's very humble, but that man can do some metal/painting/rebuilding junk motors that I've never seen anywhere else on UA-cam. Nice shout out! This truck is coming along nice, and I prefer the look of a wood bed. Can't wait to see this project done!

    Mike, I am loving how the truck is shaping up.
    Wooden bed for sure. Anything else just wouldn't be true to the truck as it sets. You're going for that original look of a truck that's used regularly for work. So go back with wood.
    If you had gone with a flashy high gloss show truck paint job, then diamond plate, or something else could have been ok, but not this time.
    I haven't received notification of any new videos from UA-cam in a long time. Have you been posting? Or am I just not getting notified?
    It's good to see a new video anyway.

    If you can lay your hands on some red oak, that will look flat out good. Do a standard finish on it before you lay it in but definately some oak. The red is gorgeous when its got a good finish on it. The trick to getting it right is sand each layer of varnish or whatever you pick for a sealing coat. When you can get it thick enough, you can go on with a good wet sanding. Make the finish smooth as a baby's butt. I love the original idea for the truck. Working it out, as you go, is about the only way you could get this done. I hope you remembered Valentine's bro. Your wife deserves the best you can give her.

    The wood bed is definitely the way to go. I think lightly torching the wood to highlight the grain a bit before clear coating it would look nice.
