A few questions before I make the plunge.
Who makes the best kit? I saw that Classic Parts has a kit that comes with everything. Wood, strips, hardware, etc. I would imagine that they are all pretty much the same. Just stumbled upon Mar-K which would be great as I could pick up everything.
Could I finish everything in a weekend? Taking the old bed out and putting the new one in.
Thanks!

You also have to allow time to finish your boards and let them dry adequately. Here are some instructions that may help: http://www.mar-k.com/wood_finishing.htmlhttp://www.mar-k.com/bed_parts_installation.htmlI see you live in Enid, OK so you can drive down and pick them up, or if you want to have that delivered, the Free UPS Shipping special would be good for you too. Also, we have a 10% off call in special until the end of October, so you want to give them code TT10315 when you call in to place your order. (Stovebolter's code) Not sure what kind of wood bed you want to put in, but we have some great new "no bolts" bed strips in polished stainless, unpolished stainless and steel for a great custom look. Hope this helps.

This covers nearly all of our parts (except bed sides). So you can order wood/strips/hardware, pay $8.95 handling fee and get Free UPS anywhere in the continental US. The other offer is Free Truck Freight. If you order bed sides and spend $1000 in parts, then pay the $15.00 handling charge and the truck freight is free. Hope this Helps. If not, see the following links: http://www.mar-k.com/online_coupon.htmlhttp://www.mar-k.com/free_truck_freight.html | | |
