[Oletrucks] trex bed ''wood''

[K Ohlgren]

since we have had recent activity on bed wood, i thought i would add this.



i am using plastic deck boards 'trex' brand from hd.

trex only comes in one size 6x5/4 (5.25x1 actual) solid

so i will have 9 boards instead of the usual 8 boards

also had to buy 8 metal strips, which i am painting body color



nice thing about the 5/4 thickness is i was able to fully recess the strip

so that the paint should not get scratched (ya right)

here are some pics on photobucket of the trex cut out

my side strips are plain 1.25x.125 angle iron that will also be recessed

now i need to fit the 2 side boards around the wheel tubs

i'll post more as i get progress
