Bed question

[profe56]

GOOD MORNING FOLKS

Has anyone used plywood and, or different metal strips to renew the bed of the truck(69) stepside longbed
I found 10 foot heavy duty plywood that I think might work unless I'm told otherwise.
Thank you for your answers.

Does it have an 'x' in the identification, like 'ACX' plywood? If not, I wouldn't use it, as the glue would not be water resistant.

Thank you Setevedee.
Yes it has an X.
But, I also found "MANGLARIS WOOD" the only problem is 96 in long and must be 97. and the diference $$$$ its minimum.
I don't know if can can I ad a half an inch at bott extremes will work.
Thanks

I'm thinking of this as well. Is there any reason not to consider cutting the planks to twice as wide and just reducing the number of metal strips? Would it look too strange?

I'm also thinking about,use flat metal strips

Water resistant is not waterproof.

My 64 used marine grade plywood. no strips,as just needed a floor so things would stay in there. 10 years later it still fine according to the current owner.

It’s waterproof.
