To line or not to line- need some opinions
I put down aluminum bleacher seating planks in the bed. I was originally planning on having it Line-Xed or Rhino lined but not in any hurry as I still have to finish fabbing a rear end piece. What do you guys think? Leave it raw or not?

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
That looks really cool the way it is. I would leave it alone unless you need the function of having a protective coating. The overall truck looks pretty killer too.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
If it was my bed, and I wish it was, I'd leave it as is for sure.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
I like that
 I agree with leaving it as is. If you needed to freshen it up, you could acid wash it, but that may stain your primer. I am also curious as to the thickness and what mods you may have done to accomodate the planks. I am familar with the aluminum planking on semi trailers, but I had not thought of bleachers. The semi trailer planking is about 1-1.25" thick.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
That's one of the better ideas I've seen in a while. It looks great, don't mess with it.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
I would line the sides and polish the floor.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
If you were going to actually paint the truck and not just a suede job then I would and I would have it color matched to your paint.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
If it has grip in it which I think it would it would be hard to polish. I say leave it it looks perfect

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
That was a great idea!! Looks good just the way it is. If your thinking of a little bling and the budget allows maybe have it anodized.

Re: To line or not to line- need some opinions
Thanks guys! The planks are 1.5" thick and about 9.5" wide. I built a square frame over the existing cross sills then used 18ga angle to attach the planks from underneath with
3/4" self-tappers. I will post up more build pics in the projects section later today. |
