Well for anybody who cares i'm doing the stakebed in my 52 chevy 2 ton with red oak. it's also a dump so the other boards are going to be a tighter fit than some stake beds but not all. it's going to have stainless bolts and with any luck its' going to have polyurathane finish. for those who don't know the truck wasn't running right before and i have changed focus on the bed for now.
