That old truck sitting in your field or backyard could be transformed into a stylish, one-of-a-kind furniture piece. With some elbow grease and a dash of creativity, the weathered metal, wood, and glass from classic trucks can be repurposed into sturdy, rustic furniture that makes a bold statement.
From headlight lamps to tailgate benches, vintage truck parts lend themselves remarkably well to upcycling projects. Check out some of the amazing Americana pieces that others have created.

That headboard, though! The amount of work involved in creating this is huge. This bed would be challenging, from the cutting to the sandblasting to make it safe. But we love the results.
Ford F-100 Desk
Instead of letting his F-100 truck rot, a customer asked Blue Sky Performance and Restoration if they had any ideas. And they did. Instead of restoring it, owner Jesse Barratt decided to create a desk. Some cutting, sandblasting, and a paint job, and you have one stunning desk.

Book lovers rejoice. This amazing creation flips a truck bed on its side and adds shelving to create a bookcase or shelf unit. This version features a removable top shelf that allows you to put in a flat-screen TV.
