If you know how to do fabrication work, you can do most anything you want.

Re: Bed floor question?????
My question is "WHY?"
The originals are being repoped now.If you are looking for something custom I can see using a newer one but I doubt it will be much different than an original. Or maybe you have the later bed and are looking for a cheap fix?

Re: Bed floor question?????
i did this. you'll either have to add about 2in to each side or leave that much of the origenal bed there. i had an old 96 bed when i redid my first 72.
