OK , let me explain , the worst looking part on my 1967 short bed fleetside is the bed floor , I will take some pic's but will describe what I have and you guy's tell me what you would do ,
my 67 has the metal bed floor and it is totaly RUST FREE the underside of it is nice the cross brace's look like NEW ! the bad part is the top part of the bed floor had surface rust all over it and was BEAT TO DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!! I sandblasted it and laid it down in the garage floor and beat it back up straight (IT HAD A BIG BOW IN THE CENTER) it still has a bunch of small dent's and it has pitting from the surface rust but no hole's , NOW , I have three option's that I can see , I AM GONNA BUY A NEW PAIR OF BED INNER FENDER's then I can do one of the following #1 I can take the time ( A LOT OF TIME) and bodywork the bedfloor that I have by beating out all the dent's as close as I can then bondo the entire bed floor one groove at a time and make it nice looking that way I HAVE NO DOUBT I CAN DO THAT BUT IT WILL HAVE SOME FILLER ALL OVER IT #2 I can just forget about the metal floor and just order all the stuff to swap it to wood #3 I can (WHEN I GET THE MONEY) buy one of the new repop bedfloor's this truck will never have anything hauled in it other than my cruz night chair's and my 1948 coca cola cooler ![]() $$$$$$$$$$$ option one will be the cheapest but take the most work , I figure maybe $250 in material primer bondo sand paper etc , etc , option two will cost about $800 buck's option three a new steel floor will be about $1200 buck's when I was restoring the truck I did a lot of work to it and ran out of time and money so I just painted the bedfloor like it was and thats why I did not fix it the first time , SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO ????????????????????
