Metal bed ideas ?
OK guys, it's time to start getting ready to assemble a bed for the '65 SWB. I really don't want to mess with wood, and I have a buddy who owns a body shop and said he could probly get some kind of metal bed to work. Someone else suggested just using diamond plate, but I'm not really diggin that either.
What I WANT to do is use a metal bed from a later model truck. I don't know what year they started using the thick, raised, metal grooves (like my newer truck, 90 something - Current)but that is definately what we want to do. Any ideas as to a donor truck and year ? or anywhere I can find measurements for newer truck replacement beds ? Any other ideas ? I've got new tailgate, front bedside, and the bedsides will be done and ready to paint in a week or two, so I'm trying to get this figured out asap.
