It took alot of bolts but it was fun and it looks great. I tung oiled it today. It should last as long as I own the truck. It sure will get more oil on it in the future from some stuff I will carry(engines and trannys) I'm sure. I think by not tungue and groving, it will allow the boards to move and flex as needed and allow it to dry in between the boards. It might leak a little sand if I carry a load of it, but thats the least of my worrys. Thanks for all the input on this. Ya'll were very helpfull as usual.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, unless you're me!
