Re: truck bed question
If you're just wanting to have something to make a bed floor for winter, then I'd say put a piece of plywood down. Easy to take back out if/when you want to put the correct planks back in.

Re: truck bed question
As a temporary bed floor for my lwb stepper I put a piece of 3/4 in plywood down with a rubber mat over it.
It works for now. Danny

Re: truck bed question
For my 69 truck, No buck, I took a piece of 3/4" pressure treated plywood and cut it into the appropriate sized strips and used 1-1/2 wide flat bar strips to hold it down with.
So far it's holding up good. |

Re: truck bed question
very good info guys...
but if i did do so what would be the best way to mount the plywood??? i dont really want to use the strips or take the time to cut them in strips id just like it plywood all the way through... and if i did do this how would i have to mount it threw the original holes or could i get away with just four main bolts for now in each corner of the bed??? thanks to alll

Re: truck bed question
I'd be inclined to do three sets of three. Three across the front, three across the middle, and three across the back. I'd use 5/16 with big washers on the top. That oughta do it for a temp. set up.

Re: truck bed question
Sure, that would work, especially in your area.
