Nice job turbohounds!

1bad62pro/street, I wondering if you had to use wood or some other material under the aluminum diamond plate to equal the 3/4" that would normally be the thickness of the bed floor? I really like the look.

I really like the look of the aluminum diamond plate with the polished skid strips. I could do that to mine without that much effort. My bed floor resides under a hard cover and is covered with "stuff" we take everywhere with us, so there isn't much point in making it prettier.

Just finished this half floor or "shelf" to house my air tank and controls. A full raised floor in the same style will be built over top at a later date. Wood is white oak cut and notched by me, stained with Minwax provincial, sealed with Australian timber oil. Strips are stainless unpunched that I cut to size and drilled.

I saw you posted somewhere that you did aluminum diamond plate, but said would have rather used steel diamond plate because of needing more weight in the rear. I have steel diamond plate in mine and have been thinking I might rather have aluminum so to shed a little weight. Are you having handling issues with it being too light in the back?

Here's my shoptruck bed, just finished this week.
Walnut budget style.
I used spruce 3/4"x6" burnt the grain, two coats of Nescafé Brasero instant coffee , one coat of walnut stain topped of with three coats of varnish.
I think it turned out great for a budget bed floor.

Looks good.....interesting use of coffee

Fredrikstad.....I like that town and I want to go back and spend more time there as well as some other places.

My 62 C10 has reclaimed rafters from the old Westinghouse in East Pittsburgh that I bought off a salvage guy for $40.

94 year young Harry Hedberg did all the mill work.

Strips are powder coated to match the bumpers. Polished SSTL hardware & Clear varnish.

Valance is due to floor being raised 3" inside the box for drop clearance.
