Hello- wonder if anyone here has ordered bed wood planking for their panel truck. Mine is a canopy express, but I think it is the same as a panel for bed dimensions. Which company gives the best value? Thanks!

Would also check with Mar-K and hear Bruce Horkey is good with his wood products.

Hello egypsy, I did my bed from scratch on a 66 gmc fleetside. I tore the old bed out about 8 years ago, and had my brother inlaw make up some white oak boards ( I saved 1 for a pattern ). I finally got around to putting it back together 1 year ago, I srapped the boards down, got it square and drilled holes from underneath. I then trimmed for wheels. I probably am not much help, but Owell wink


I'm older than my truck but it's smarter than me! 66 GMC 3/4 ton fleetside 283, turbo 400.
