Haven't decided on the bed yet. If I keep it I'm going to go one route with the paint, if I find a decent bed for the right price I'll go a different route. My Grandfather had a cab over camper in that bed, and the boxes were filled with camping gear, if he felt like heading to the lake or the coast all he had to do was hit the store for food, everything else was already packed up. I doubt I'll do the camper part but having gear ready to go would make it that much more tempting to disappear for a weekend.
