Exhaust Heat Shield (Wood Bed) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1969 Chevrolet C10 Stepside. Had the old wood bed taken out and replaced with a nice kit from MAR - K. In looking through the LMC book, I found an exhaust heat shield listed and purchased. I do not remember that the bed underneath had an OEM heat shield. Is a heat shield really necessary? I have not installed the one purchased yet as the distance from tailpipe to wood looked sufficient enought not to be a concern. Anyone have any experience or comments. Thanks.
