Built these this weekend.  I need to decide what color to stain them.  I used cedar 2 x 6s.  I think they looks nice.  Now I can haul some hogs to market.

must be a special market for short legged pigs.....

 

is the ole creosote type (I know it is outlawed but a replacement may be available) to put these in the black finish of yesteryear..would look quite at home I think...

I agree I think the black finish would look great on those. Would look good with the red cab.

personally the wood worker in me would like to see them a med/light brown stain and lacquer.  Otherwise straight up black

A dark redish stain like Sierra or Redwood.......

you guys got to stop doing this I love my modified truck but seeing these makes me want to build a stock farm truck. This reminds me of my grandpa thanks for stirring up the memories.

Looks really good.   I took the fir stringers that were under the flatbed body I bought for my 2.5 ton and made a set of 6" sideboards out of them.  I painted them to match the body because they hade been painted many times in the past, but I would have preferred a natual type of finish.  I'll do something more when I get back on my feet.
