What is the width of each board in a stepside bed from 55 second to 66? I'm working on installing my own wood, and I'd like to know how to cut it for the strip groves, length, width, and thickness? Thanks for your help.

Hmmm Not the bed wood i was thinking of. . .

I ran 2x12's from left to right till i got to the end of the truck than i used 2-2x12's on each side for side letting them hang down about 4 inches than i put a 2x4 along bottom on the back cutting out where my 4 oval LED tail light's were look's good built the bulk head with a 2x12 and 2x8. . . bolted a 2x4 behind the tires and mounted my mud flap's Look's awsome only cost about $400.00. . .I'll try and get some pic's. . .
