Dave here with Dusty's '50 GMC. Thanks for the input about the stake hole
covers!
Next question:
I am ordering a new set of oak bed wood for this longbed (89") model, but
Chevy Duty, who has the best price on this wood ($225) does NOT offer the
pre-drilling of the holes and countersinks on the longbed, as they say they
do not have the pattern. Brothers has the pattern and will pre-drill for
$35, but their wood is $240. So my question is, just how difficult/tricky is
drilling this wood set and where does the countersink go? Since the steel
strips go on top of the wood joints, I see no reason countersinks are
required, unless they are on the BOTTOM of the wood. Anyone ever drill their
own wood? Any help will be appreciated!
Is it truly worth letting them pre-drill and paying the extra $50 total
from Brothers??
