wood bed kits
this question is about changing a metal bed over to wood. i assume it can be done. do you just cut the bottom out and buy the metal straps to clamp the wood down to the existing bed supports? i have seen wood bed kits but i wasnt sure if they are the same as crosing over to wood from metal.
thanks for any replies Ben

More involved than that. You'll need all new cross members and a new bed front and the rear cross member. Is this a fleet or stepside?
