Metal bed for stepside c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at a stepside C10, 1981. I don't know if you can get a all metal bed for this year instead of the wood flooring. I did a quick check but didn't find any firm info, so I thought to post a quick question, I'm sure this has been discussed and probably a lot of threads on how to do this, if a conversion is necessary.

Thanks for your help.

Stepsides were all wood beds until the GMT400 body style (1988). Most farmers I know put diamond plate in them so the wood wouldn't buckle when a steer was in the bed.
