Re: Scary Bed Floor
I live in the rust belt too. I've been thru what you are dealing with and I
suggest that when you replace your bed with another, you seam seal all the edges where your cross supports meet the bed floor. Also clean & coat the bottom side before you install. I use a product called "ZERORUST". It is available in several colors. I use red & black. First I paint with the black, then I switch to red. That way, I get full coverage. A couple coats is all you need. The good thing about RUSTFREE, is you can always touch up any problem area's later. Not so, with products like POR15. I have a 78K20 that's been my plow rig for many years. I got tired of fuel tank's rotting out, so I switched over to polly tanks. You may consider doing the same. Just sayin'.

Re: Scary Bed Floor
Mar-K has cross sills for the wood beds. They may have em for steel floors.
They are real simple pieces. A sheet metal shop might be able to make you some... |

Re: Scary Bed Floor
I had the same thing on my 83, just pick up some light wall 3x3 tube, easy to find and it's not going to rust out.
