Smokey,
You might also want to check out my page on bedwood;
http://chevytrucks.org/users/jeff/bedwood.htm
I think it will have all the data you need. I'd also recommend that you get
a copy of the bedwood restoration booklet sold by most of the oletruck
vendors. Approximately $4-$5 and worth the price.
