Need some Ideas for my bed floor

[sir_talk_alot]

Need some ideas here. Either the dealership, which I have a feeling did or an early owner welded a solid1 piece metal sheet in the bed. I'm guessing its around 1/8 in, maybe quarter in thick. They did a good job and its plenty sturdy, but I really want a wood floor, which it has under the metal, not much wood left though. Ill upload pics later but what do you guys think I should do? I don't want to ruin my bed, its in decent shape. I thought of pulling it off and just replacing with another bed, but I don't want to repaint the truck, I like the old patina'd orange. I'm sure it helps ad needed weight over the axle, but she's gonna be a cruiser, not a work/weekend home depot runner. Open to ideas here. Its not welded all the way around, just every so often in 2in Welds.
