Re: Bedwood/bed floor ideas ond pictures

Some of the beds shown in this thread are beautiful. Some of the nicest I've ever seen.
How do you plan on using your truck when you get the new floor in it? If you plan on using it like a truck at all you might be better off doing it back like it came from the factory with the wood floor painted body color. Not as exciting as the ones shown, but more useable. My experience has been that when you make it too nice you either can't use it or it will get scratched and look bad. Also, even the best spar varnish won't really hold up to weather very well. My recently aquired 57 has steel step plate in the floor but I am going to remove it and put it back original, using oak and stainless strips. My second choice would be the metal S-10 bed floor.
