Yes thank you for mentioning that , that somebody was me, and much is. ,
The darker lumber is that water tank redwood I spoke of, the apitong
is the lighter colored and the "Harvey Green" bed floor , all assembled with brass fittings.
Me truly fortunate to make it to my old age and now as a seasoned wood worker I made
sure that fit and finish is done right and it is one of a kind in mortising design fits.
The crown corner connections at cab have had wood hobbists take notes.
It was one of the truck details that those fun hours were spent on design.
My dad always said "make your mistakes on paper 1st, it saves on materials"..
I have spent quite a few fun hours doing all the mill work prior to final assembly.

and sharing the truck through years of community and
