Sweet

chevykid1969 · 08-10-2003, 08:35 AM

Thanks guys. The bed is 1/8 inch thick tread plate aluminum(sp). It really was not that expn. It only cost me about 200$ for wood bolts and then the aluminum. I also bought a gas filler from a boat place that if you look in the rear of the bed you can almost see.( it blends right in)

**seacrow** · 08-10-2003, 08:37 AM

looks great

wxman1 · 08-10-2003, 05:26 PM

My bed is warped and rusted through in 2
places. I've given up hope of finding another
bed floor that is not warped or rusted through
at a reasonable price. Just wondering...how
mush the sheet of diamond tread steel cost
you ??

chevykid1969 · 08-10-2003, 05:55 PM

for just the diamond plate i got it for 130$(4x8)

Longhorn Man · 08-10-2003, 06:04 PM

That is a bit cheaper than i thought, and it does look dam good.
I have thought about doing this in the back of the longhorn, but I think I will stick with wood.

chevykid1969 · 08-10-2003, 06:07 PM

I think wood looks the best in these trucks.

383 Stroker · 08-10-2003, 06:47 PM

Looks a lot like my bed.

chevykid1969 · 08-10-2003, 06:58 PM

You are the one i got the idea from. Thanks!

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2003, 07:50 PM

That's what I am planning for my 70. I even plan on having a white truck. Nice to see how it may look.

Do you still have wood under yours or just the diamond plate on the cross rails?

chevykid1969 · 08-10-2003, 07:53 PM

i have half inch plywood under it.

jhow66 · 08-10-2003, 10:10 PM
