Hey guys, I bought a short fleetside bed . The bed floor is rusted threw in the front. I am wanting to put the wood down. Can somebody post detailed pics of one that is finished so I can see what I need to do. Or give me some input on my project . Thanks

Call Les at GMC Pauls....You need a different front piece for a wood bed and all the wood supports. Les will set you up!

Are you talking about the ribs that cross the frame under the bed floor?

Yes, I believe they are different for a wood floor bed. The front and rear piece are for sure different.

What do you think of taking the metal floor from a long bed and cutting it down to fit the shortbed??

Hey if you've got the skills...go for it. Don't know that anyone has done that??? Someone else will chime in....

Well I don't know about the skills of doing it. But I will be willing to try it.
