shortbed floor question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am gonna pick up a fleetside shortbed that has a wooden floor in bad shape. My question is will a metal floor from a short fleet bolt up without too much trouble? I assume I will have to swap out braces underneath ? I searched this in the search section with no luck. Thanks for any help !

the wood/metal bedfloor swap is a direct bolt in , the braces under a metal floor are attached , the only part that you will need to swap out is the front bed panel , NOW I would like to ask if you do not use the wood floor brace's and rear cross member would you let them go ? my 67 has the metal bed floor and I would like to swap it to wood , PM me if you decide to let those go , thank's
