Does say there are three beds in the descript in the gumtree ad. One on the roof, one under and perhaps the table drops?

Does it inspire you to do something creative with your timber tray? With different shade timbers and lots of scarf joints you could have a grand mosaic design.....

This little truck deserves some nice timber for the tray. I used 32 mm Black butt on my tray deck and left a 5 mm gap between each board,and stainless bolts counter sunk flush. The drop sides were made of 25 mm T&G black butt. I finished the timber in a two pack resign it gives a great finish and has not been damaged by the WA sun. Best of luck with your project and look forward to seeing some more pics as you progress.
