STEEL for function! A wood bed is a very nice looking floor, but I opted for a custom steel floor in my old longhorn. this was done to stiffen the truck up & let it "drive straight" under full throttle  the cross sills are 2x3x 1/8wall tubing, with a 3x3 at the rear, & all are tied together with 2x2 tubing(welded tight). its not as pretty as a wood floor, but it stiffened the he!! out of the rear of the truck......i dont have to guess which way the @ss end is going when the throttle is opened up anymore! it goes straight like it should  I figure a little spray in liner over a tread plate floor, should look decent  crazyL
