'67 Stepside Bed Help

Hello all,
I've got a bit of a quandry about my '67 stepside short bed. I've gotten the truck just about ready to get back on the road, and I would like to figure out a cheap easy way to use this bed I have, by either using some marine grade plywood as a floor, or some sheet metal. I really want to find a steel floored fleetside bed for it, but until then I just need to haul some stuff. I also don't want to mess up the bed I have in case someone else may need it and can use it as-is. I've gone around in circles about this for a couple weeks, and I just need to make a decision. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I have posted some pictures of the bed here:

Thanks!

We ran treated plywood for the bedfloor of our 67 Stepside for 10 years with no problems.

Andy,
didn't you have a post of a super cheap way to have a wood bed until you could afford a more comparably nice wood bed set?

I ran a piece of plywood in the bed of my '72 short step for 4 or 5 years until i wrecked the truck... I had the original cross braces... IT worked great for what I was doing...
