New Floor for my Bed?

[guitardude127]

Hello Friends...this is my first post on this forum.

I inherited a 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton LWB Stepside. It was my grandfather's old farm truck that I learned to drive in when I was 5. He has passed away and my grandmother gave it to me 2 years ago. Lot's of memories in that old truck!

It came originally with a wood bed and about 20 years ago, my uncle replaced the floor of it with a sheet of 1/4" steel plate because my grandfather was installing a hay stinger in it, and the wood bed was rotten anyway. I am working on restoring this truck, but I'm not sure that I want to go back to a wood bed. The current steel floor was sloppily done and needs to be replaced with something. Does anyone have any suggestions on what/how to do if I want to put a metal bed back in it? Remember it's a long bed step side.

Thanks in advance!

Matt
