if you do that then you better put some baby moon rims on the truck too.

I saw that bed in person at the JDM meet i think he said it added like a 100+ lbs to the rear. Also he didnt screw it down to the bed yet just shimmed it in place. So maybe TampaBlack99 if you make him the right offer he will sell it to you HEHE 
. That bed is not to my taste and like Pete said i to love my bed rug. I think that bed looked good on the old trucks but doesnt fit the new ones. But to each his own. Im not sure but i think that the Blackwoods had a bed done up like that if it wasnt wood i think it was stainless and lit up.

Here is a link to my friends site. He has a bunch of pictures of what he did on a regular F150.

I think that pic of the oak bed looks cool, but here's my $0.02;
I'd make it as a removable insert, maybe with a marine plywood back.
If it gets wet, the boards may start to warp and twist, cause they're not bolted down to the box.
Oak turns black when enough water gets to it.
Forget about hauling anything but nekked women back there, you don't want to scratch the wood or the chrome.
Baby Moons on chrome reverse rims would 'lay' on that truck!
