16 guage steel, sprayed with Rhino linings. I was at one time a spray tech so this one is a little extra thick.

It might be hard to tell what this is. When I did the Rhino linings I had the bed off. I was affraid that when i put the bed back on that i would scratch the back of the cab. So I decided to Rhino line the front of the bed and the back of the cab. This worked great, even if I decide to change the color all I have to do is tape to the edge of the lining. No need to paint between the cab and bed anymore.

Hey hardwaa, how did you attach your tubs to the bedsides? I'm doing to be doing something similar soon except I'm just going to leave the center of the bed floor open. Looks good!

I used (2) pieces of 3/4" pressure treated plywood for the bed floor. Functionality on a budget and not beauty was the goal. The center seam is covered by a stainless bed strip and the wood is attached to the bed around the perimeter with carriage head bolts.

Used Thompsons Waterseal to seal all the plywood and painted all the bed angles and other surfaces that contact the wood.

Cut wood for the wheel tubs and fabricated supporting steel inside the wheel tubs for the wood.









A full size long bed rubber bed mat was then cut down to fit my widened mini-tubbed short bed. The mat is about 1/4 inch thick and is very heavy.

For you guys using the "pressure treated plywood" on your floors, did you just mount the bed 'strips' above the wood surface or route the edges for a flush fit?
