Where to get metal bed floor?

Hey guys..my '68 longbed C10 needs a new bed floor. It has some crappy particle board right now and I'd really like to convert it to metal. Anyone know where I can get a metal bed floor? Thanks!

If the floor was originally wood you will have other modifications to do to change to metal. Read this thread:

He is going the opposite way you are but it will explain the differences.

I got my bed floor from southern Kentucky classics. I ended up having to do a few minor mods to get the bed to fit right, but overall its pretty nice for a repop.

a trip to the hardware store for bolts etc. and some time with lumber on a table saw and you could have a decent wood floor. GMC Paul's site has dimensions for cutting the wood
