nels1954 'Bolter N Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 239 Meridian Idaho	Almost finished installing the bed on my '55 1st series truck. Applied 8 coats Minwax polyurethane to all 6 sides of the boards. Really happy with the installation. Mar K has a great product. There are a couple bolts left to install. The two bolts in the support channel next to the shock attachment. May have to make a special tool to get the nuts and lock washers on the bolts and tighten them. Any ideas. Pictures to follow.

Hope it all goes back together. Thanks for the response. Larry 661-406-8496 1953 3100 In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix 1954 Bel Air
