Looks good. Is that from Horkey's? 
Yes it is. They have been a pleasure to do business with.

Very nice looking.....will it be a dark varnish? 
I am not 100% on the varnish yet. I was kind of thinking about using the clear spar varnish. This truck will be used and abused and I don't want to have to touch it up all of the time.

Very nice! One of these decades I'd like to replace the wood in my bed. At the least, I'd like to countersink the bolt/washer's that make it near impossible to slide anything all the way in 
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Thank you for the info. I am using spar varnish and lots of it. I did use POR-15 whitecote on the cab door sil areas and will use it on the box flanges as well. I guess if the spar varnish does not stay serviceable I will hit them with the POR-15.
If you follow Horkey's finish process it's quite involved but holds up well.
