Another forum has this in a file that requires microsoft office, wondering if anyone here has all this information in a different format, needs to include exact dimensions for the bed strip grooves, all cuts and measurements, everything. Thanks!

 

Just got 5 extremely nice white oak boards and they were somehow already 9 foot long and 13/16 at a good price, getting very enthused about getting it going.

Here is what I have for dimensions on the 6.5ft bed WC. I posted this in the past here as well. Hope it helps.

 

  1. Total

       6-red oak planks {boards]  13/16  thick, 78 long and 7 ¾ wide

     

         2 planks [ left and right outside] one saw  kerf 1/8 deep x 1/8 wide 1/2 inch from inside edge on upper

            side .Saw kerf allows the rail to settle and to grip plank.

     

         4 planks saw kerf  on top ,2 per plank   1/8 deepx1/8 widex1/2 from edge

Before you start cutting do the math on your own. When I did mine using those dimensions I had to cut again. I believe this is because all bed strips aren't created equal. I have Mar-k stainless ones on my truck.

Good advice Ed. Always better to measure twice before cutting especially understanding there can be a difference in the strips. ?
