If you are able to save your order 'till around November, CP usually emails a 10% coupon to customers to be used before year end... They have in the past also done a coupon in the spring. I waited and placed a large order in conjunction with one of those coupons. Excess of $350 you get free shipping, and then add the 10% e-coupon and get some descent savings.

I had seen a post somewhere, where they used like 2x6's, routed a groove in it, and used flat metal strips. Looked ok, but while looking for that post, I came across the one below. Might be the route I go.........??

i was just thinkin the other day, that if you need to redo your bed we should just make 2 sets for each of us. each buy the stuff and have a lil day of rippin boards. im not good with wood workin (i cant weld it back together) and my old man doesnt want to help with makin new boards, he says just put plywood down

 

Sounds like a plan. I have a power miter saw, but not a table saw (although I can probably borrow on for a weekend). If you haven't gotten yours done by the time I get to that point, let's do it.

 

well ill prob throw some plywood down till we do it or find another plan. but im game for it

 

plywood is in the bed of the truck. uncle that works at the local junk yard is gonna get me a bed mat to put on top. but with the thicker plywood the new bed bolts are not long enough. so i bought some longer ones. ill also added 4 D-rings to the bed bolts so i can tie stuff down in the bed.
