Re: sheet metal bed insted of wood
Here's a pic of my '67 short step. It's got 1/4 inch steel. I'd much rather have wood, but need to use the truck as a truck and just can't bare to destroy a nice oak bed. I'll rhino line this and it'll be good to go. Also, be aware, either my springs are sagging or it lowered the ass end of the truck about an inch and a half.

Re: sheet metal bed insted of wood
I cut down a fleetside bed to fit in my 48. Here's some pictures:
