    Not a mechanic (put can keep my truck running)… but what I am is 32 yr carpenter and I’m a finish carpenter casework/mill work.
    For wood on truck bed I would use an epoxy to seal the bottom and the channels where the the rails sit. For the exposed upper. I’d highly recommend a stain w UV protection and a marine grade clear w a UV protection.
    He is right it is very important to seal every inch of the wood and using the right product to seal it that will last.

      Mine was a 1970 CST/10 with a big block 402, TH 400 and a 12 bolt with posi and 4.10:1. No Ac though it has power steering. 4 wheel drum brakes. It was my dad's truck and he gave it to me in 1997. I still have it, but I blew up the 402. It has a 350 in it now.
      I almost lost it in the caldor fire in California about 18 months ago. It really motivated me to start restoring it. I just lost my dad to mesothelioma in August so I really want to finish it for him.

    How many friends does a guy need to not have in order to justify buying a bed-lifting crane?
    In the barrio, that's about 24 cervezas to get 'er done. Some skirt-steak on the grill if the bolts are rusty.

    Just like that, with the placement of the new fuel tank, bang, no spare tire any longer, the tank took it's place.
