Re: inner bed floor raised

Raised mine for a tilt bed by building a frame to hang the sheetmetal on, then bracing it to the bedsides. the wheel arches were modified to be raised, and the wood floor had to be custom made, but the clean look of no notches or notch cover is worth all of it.

I would love to see some pics/info on how you went about that, that is exactly what I want to do to mine.

Also, is that OE style bed wood or did you cut your own from plywood and is that a paint or a stain? That looks real nice!

Thanks. Sorry no build pics. Basically 2" steel square tubing spacers on top of the cross sills.

Went cheap, wood is pine, cut from dims on the Mar-k site. Black uv exterior house paint.

Powder coating of the bed strips was the most expensive part. lol
