stepside wood question

[80stepsideguy]

Question,
i know mar k and i believe   has the wood kits but i am gonna go all custom with this truck and the wood we got in the truck now was already replaced once and is rotted beyond saving.My question is does anyone know of a company that makes wooden planks for the beds?I like to do something other then oak or pine,, something like white ash or birch or even cedar...

thanks
pat

p.s. this is just a thought ok i am still open for opinons

I like cherry or walnut personally. Is there a wood working shop in your area? I would have them just make you some if you do.

www.horkeyswoodandparts.com/ has Ash, Oak and other Exotic woods availible.
www.mar-k.com has Oak and Pine availible.

This is how you cut the wood to use Mar-K's strips...

I read a post once on hotrodders.com where a guy used a wood called Ipe. Very dense and about the same cost of oak. It's found in Brazil but available in the U.S. It's got different names and is used a lot on decks. S'posed to last about a hundred years..
