Re: Which Wood Would You Use?
I am not familiar with the FORD specs for a model A pu bed but they did use southern hard pine ( Georgia pine ) for '25 model T's. I would guess someone may chime in with what was used for the A bed. Whatever wood you use it will probably not get the abuse that the original did. If it is exposed use a top grade spar varnish with UV protection. Well worth the money. If painted use the best marine grade deck paint as it too has the best weather resistance. I also suggest that the individual wood pieces be not fitted too tight as they will expand/contract a lot more than steel with temp and moisture changes
