I've seen a couple ads that had a left half and right half bed panel for less total than just the back half...anyone know more about those, since I'm not restoring my truck...

some had mentioned the gauge and thickness and stregth of the bedfloors ?

to me I am worried more about the fit and the straightness of it , after all the heaviest thing I am gonna haul is my folding cruz night chair's

Thats good to hear cause we do body work on trucks and cars and sell the parts to. All of us here do this for a living but when we tell people that the parts fit good, no one believes us cause we sell parts and they think we are just saying it to sell them. If the parts are junk we will tell you. We use all the parts we sell and we don't like returns or comebacks to fix. Its good to hear feedback

I'm curious to the strength (mainly dent resistance) of the floors, as I still put tools and gear in my bed even though the truck is show worthy. A motorcycle or motor is easier to load when the tailgate is a foot off the floor. I'm thinking of using a partial panel to finish my step notch in the bed.

I ask because of the quality of tailgates. I'm going to have to rebuild the aftermarket gate with steel tube and better welds (and a repaint) to reinforce the thin metal before I put a bike on it. I broke welds just shutting the tailgate and maybe standing on it getting in the bed! Really pisses you off when you have (had) fresh paint!
