White oak or white ash would be ideal but should be bone dry.

Some good wood can be salvaged from old skids however the header board is quite long with the full width of the cab.

I was lucky enough to score a full set ready made from Brian Ashbury, Mine were rotted to small pieces. I will make a new one working from Brian's original and build in as many hidden steel reinforcement as possible.

I have some 20 years old ash boards in the barn and Grant tells me he has a planer....hihihi.

Will be sealing the wood with two coats of POR 15 thinned down to soak in the wood and literaly turn it it into plastic.

Pictures and measurements will follow.

Cheers
