I'm a pretty good woodworker with very few metal working skills or tools. I was toying with the idea of buying rear fenders and a tailgate and building the rest of a short bed with wood. Anybody seen this done? any ideas? pictures?---Jack

Saw a complete car built from wood at the KC Reunion this year. Unfortunately it was a Ferd. So, it can be done.

When I was shopping for my truck I found one that had a homemade bed out of medium density fiberboard. You almost would not have know if it had not been for the thickness of the bed sides.
