George, that turpentine trick seems to be pretty common in these parts of the country. When I sided my house with log siding the guy I got it from said to use the 2/3, 1/3 mix for the first coat then use about a 9 to 1 mix for the final coat. It seemed to work pretty good.
Here's a pic of the completed floor. I had to notch the rear crosspiece between it and the floor boards for the mounting bracket for the POW can holders. Now I have to cut a rebate for the rear angle iron as it fits flush with the floor. Then all that's left is the wheelwells, the two piece sides, front, tailgate, and toolbox. Nothing to it!
