I did buy the stainless steel bed strips to maintain my contrast between the paint and the bed wood. I have a brother in law that did build cabinets before he retired and so I already had all the wood dimensions and the routed dimensions and he and I needed. We did the wood bed strips out of cypress that he had laying around. I stained it with Minwax ebony stain, then gave it a couple coats of urethane gloss. It has held up really well since it had been about 6 yrs. In all fairness it does sleep inside the garage.
I looked around for the rubber floor mat to put over the Dynamat but I did not see one that l liked. Instead i decided to add black short knapp carpet which would help with engine and sound noise. The other reason I liked the carpet is because they had thin pieces that went along the side of the seat base.
The headlights were not very good at night so I decided to switch them to LED. I found some 7" that had turn signals built in but i did not use that feature. I did have to slightly modify the headlight housing for the headlight to fit but that was not a big deal. The lighting is adequate but I may change them out to a different style. On low beam a single row across lights up but on high beam they all light up.
If I passed over something that you want to know about my restoration or what brand I purchased do not hesitate to ask.
