Re: Old bed, new bed floor?

About 10 years ago I put a floor out of a then new silverado in my cousins 66. It was a step bed . It took the better part of a day to make it work but it turned out great. I have also had that thought for my 70 but have not yet put a tape to it. I have some late model beds that have not been sent of to the scrap yard yet. I try to do some measuring next week. Jim

Re: Old bed, new bed floor?

We have never done it, but I have seen stepsides done with late model donors. The shop that did it says it wasn't hard at all.

Man, if I could get some ideas on measurements, that would be a huge help! Let me know what progress you make..

Thanks!
