DIY | Custom White Oak Truck Bedwood | How to Cut Wood for Classic Truck Bed

- Today we are showing you how we cut our wood for our '59 Chevy Apache truck bed. This task is NOT for the faint of heart. This truck would have come with red oak originally, but we decided to splurge and shoot for white oak. Since prices on the market for white oak are INSANE we decided to do it ourselves! Tag along as we prep and plane the wood, cut to factory specification, cut the groove for the slats, sand the wood down and share some helpful tips/tricks along the way.

Getting there ✨
also you could substitute the sawdust for toilet paper or tissue paper that's super glue and sawdust thing you can also do it with Elmer's glue or wood glue and sawdust especially for holes that are stripped out with wood screws it's not perfect but if it's what you got it's what you got I did this with a toilet paper and Elmer's glue for the front door screws for stripped out and now they don't
Very cool idea! Never thought of that.
Will be nice 👍🏻
Thanks! This white oak bed might be my favorite part 😍✨

Thanks for the dimensions on the edge groove? Appropriate dimensions are just not much help ! 5/32 on the cut depth great. 1/8 down on the router great. How far in from the edged if the board ????? I can do the math Just looking for all the info i can get before i start
What I did was take one of themetal slats and use that for a guide on both sides! Good luck with your bed wood!

not sure what you're talking about. No Ford parts here!
Great video!!!
But what router bit was used??
no router was used. We used the width of the blade for the slot cuts.
@@michaelcampbell195 Thanks for your reply, this will help a lot.
@@rhoadsmatheson2246 no problem. Just really take your time and keep one of the metal slats with you for reference of the gap.
@@michaelcampbell195 Will do, thanks my friend.
