One of the previous owners just slapped diamond plate over the wood which probably served the purpose for whatever they were using the truck for. They spot welded it every 4-6 inches all the way around and used multiple pieces as shown below. I was glad to see all the metal strips were there and intact. The old dried wood kept it exciting as it liked to catch on fire. I forgot to take a before picture, but I remembered just as the first piece was loose and the wood was starting to burn. Also got a couple pictures of my assistants.
I will add some more as I go along.
