Re: 1972 gmc jimmy 2wd build

I saw a wood floor in a conversion. It was a factory 4x4 converted to a 2 wheel drive. It really looked good. My bed floor in my 71 2 wheel drive Jimmy has some places that are going to be cut out and repaired also. Have thought about wood also. But that means your going to have brace up the bedside some how. The steal floor definitely add strength to the bedsides. Has anyone out there done this? Please share your thoughts.
