BedWood and Parts announces the release of its new RetroLiner for the ’73-79 Ford F-Series pickup. The RetroLiner is an industry exclusive, application specific, real wood bed liner system designed for pickup trucks with a factory metal bed floor. It offers classic styling in a variety of natural wood tones and colors to customize the largest flat surface on your pickup. Each RetroLiner kit includes the following components, features, and benefits: laser measured, 3-D modeled, and digitally designed to ensure precise fitment. CNC milled to match the contours of the truck bed with a state-of-the-art mounting system that allows the RetroLiner to “float” just above the stock metal bed floor, allowing rain or wash water to drain appropriately. It is pre-sealed with your choice of HydroSatin or HydroShine proprietary waterborne exterior wood sealer and finish. Available in a wide variety of domestic and exotic hardwoods to accent any paint or interior color. No drilling is required so you won’t threaten your body warranty. Simple installation requires nothing more than an Allen wrench. The kit includes all wood components, mounting frame, mounting pads, a complete set of pre-cut, pre-punched polished stainless steel bed strips, and a complete polished stainless steel hardware kit, neatly packaged in a single box and ready to install. Can be easily removed and reinstalled to accommodate various hauling situations.

nitially, we weren’t really sure what we wanted to do with the bed in terms of design. All I knew was I wanted it to look stock-ish, but with a lot of very subtle adjustments and modifications to make it look timeless and correct from the outside. I wanted all the outside modifications to be just enough for anyone who knows these trucks to have to do a double take and get up closer to study it. Then, once you got closer, you could see the inside of the bed, which I still wanted to keep very simple and elegant yet also make a little bit of a statement.

cross the country, trucks continue to grow in popularity. We’re seeing the market explode, especially with OBS trucks, but the classic trucks we all know and love continue to evolve and push the scene to new heights. With this type of growth, we’re seeing new truck events pop up all over the country. One of the newest shows is the Classic Parts of America C10 Nationals presented by Chevrolet Performance. While this event got its start in Texas, it grew into a second event in Nashville, which was very successful in its inaugural event in 2021.

vents come and go, but it’s always a challenge when a really great event changes ownership, venues, or format. The F-100 Supernationals & All Ford Show has experienced exactly that but seems to have found a home back in Sevierville, Tennessee, under the direction of Danny Blackwell. This tourist town is just a few miles away from even bigger tourist towns Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The location provides awesome views of the Great Smoky Mountains, and plenty of activities both at the event and afterhours. Plus, the Parkway that runs through Sevierville and Pigeon Forge is one of the greatest cruising areas in the country.
