Has anyone replaced wood bed with aluminum?

I've done a couple searches, maybe I'm just missing it.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this, the pros and cons of it.

I've had my truck for a couple years. It was restored by prior owner, pretty nice job. He got around to everything but the bed.

It spends about 80% of it's time in the garage, only because my wife and I each have daily drivers.

I do use it to put grass/leaves/branches etc. in and take to the landfill.

I'm not inclined to put a nice, refinished bed in, only to toss debris on top of it.

However, the current bed, compared to the rest of the truck, looks like a wart on a nose.

So, I was thinking about replacing it with aluminum diamond plate.

Anybody been there, done this?
