Question about wood beds floor bedsides

Can I use a steel floor in a wooden bed floor bed? I have a '70 with a steel floor bed and can get a great condition 67 wood floor bed for cheap. I would like to keep the steel floor, but I do not know if it will work in the '67 bed. Thanks

You'll need to use all the cross supports, including the very rear one that is welded to the bedsides. Beyond that- I think the rest of the panels are the same. Don't quote me on that 'cause I've only worked with wood beds.

Re: Question about wood beds floor bedsides

bedsides are the same.Like mentioned,you'll need all cross sills and new front panel.You could modify the front panel to work too I suppose.The lip needs to be dropped down about 3/4" so the wood sits on top of it.
