What should I do to the plywood floor?

Hey guys,

I'm getting ready for a frame off paint and job on my 72 burb and wondering what to do to the plywood floor. It's in decent shape and I'd rather save the time and expense of totally replacing it (the paint & body is already going to bankrupt me!), so I'm looking for suggestions.....just sand & paint it?.... paint inside, undercoat outside?

I was thinking maybe roll on bedliner on both sides would seal it up real good. Will that stuff stick to wood? Oh ya, I'm planning on carpet too.

Thanks!

Re: What should I do to the plywood floor?

We just restored my wifes Suburban last winter. When we bought the truck someone had already rhino lined the rear area including the wood. We have had no adhesion issues to date. Our cargo area is also carpeted. When the body was off the chassis the entire body shell was sandblasted including the wood which was in excellent condition. The wood got undercoated along with the bottom of the body. We did prime and paint the wood body color along with the bottom of the body before undercoating. Once again,no adhesion problems so far.
