Re: Scary Bed Floor

That's what happens iowa is the same damn way, not to jack your thread but does anyone know where (if) you can buy bed supports my frame and bed floor are in great shape but there are a couple of spots in the the supports where it's started to rust through and i don't see the point in replacing the whole floor since it's solid otherwise

No I'm absolutely sure they don't make them for fleetsides, but someone please correct if I'm wrong.

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'.
Yeah I had plans on doing that when I get a new bed and cleaning up the frame too. Your in La Porte that's not too far from here. It's been a long time since I have been there. And everything will be considered when redoing my truck, don't want it to rust out in 10 years.
