Re: Plywood in the bed

A regular sheet of plywood isn't quite wide enough to reach under the strips on the side of the bed so it can be held down good.

I don't see a strength issue with regular bed board cut to fit unless you are planning on hauling loads of river rock or engine blocks. You might need a couple of extra braces at the front and rear of the tubs but other than that I don't see the issue.
