Re: Wood floor owners...
If your not using your truck bed as a typical truck and keeping it covered all week yes. But if your hauling fridges n stoves that sorta stuff no.

Re: Wood floor owners...
Stainless is good, no worries about painting, chipping, rusting etc. Polished stainless I wouldn't bother with unless it is a show truck. I figure the cost of new plain steel strips, plus the cost of getting them primed and painted or powder coated pretty much equalled the cost of unpolished stainless.

Re: Wood floor owners...
Just stainless on mine. Shine difference I would think is minimal.
