    The Truck Bed Thread

    I figured this topic was worth it's own thread. What is everyone doing for their truck bed?

    I am going to be getting some maple and using these core trax as slats. 4 slats and 5 boards. Then I will have tie downs in the whole bed for a cooler, chairs and sun shade. I will also mill them in to the boards to be flush. What do you guys think?

    I had to order 2 kits as the front/back measurement for my bed is 58.5"

    I'm excited for this to be able to be a functional truck

    I am considering this also. Funny, we have the same idea. I'll have quarter sawn oak bookmarked and the rout the track between the individual boards. I'm planning to stain the wood medium gray and use black tracks.

    I put E-Track in every one of our service trucks and the guys love it. So I would say for sure you will be happy you put in the effort to install them. In our service truck application I was looking at the core track and was just concerned that dirt would get in it and make it hard to use. In a show truck should not be an issue.

    Bought some Red Oak from Hood Distribution here in Tucson, $105 for about 31 board feet (rough cut) Stainless Steel strips 1107SA Dynacorn (51-53 Chev) $155 from Speedway Parts, hardware from Ace hardware. I cut the boards to 6 1/2 wide and routered the edged to recess the stainless. Shortened the stainless strips. Will stain and seal the wood next. Very happy with my $300 wood bed
