I know this has been discussed before, but I'm looking to get as close as I can to the appearance the bed wood had when it was new. The truck is a 1950 1 Ton with the 9' bed, I have the 9 pine boards already to go cut to the correct widths and the edges milled. The pre-punched wear strips are being delivered today. I want to get the black appearance for the wood and was wondering what the best recipe is for this. This truck is completely stock and I want it to look that way. Thanks in advance! Tom
