67-72 steel floor in a 60-66 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got one, it was a long bed but outlawc and I cut it down to a shortbed. Thanks for your help outlawc!! It fits very good, will have to redrill some holes to bolt it to the bed though. Here are some pics.

I have mine sitting in storage waiting for the swap. Looks good.... Anything of note that might prevent problems during the swap?

The front bed panel will have to be modified. Since the wood was 3/4 thick, the flange will have to be cut and moved up then welded. I also had to trim this area (in pic) for the sides to fit right. Other than that it wasnt to bad.

I'm raising the floor so the front panel is getting modified regardless; I'll watch out for that rear corner now that I'm informed (Thanks!).

I did buy a MarK smooth front panel for the 68 so I might see if it would work as well.

I have a 67-72 front panel here and its different at the top in the corners to the 60-66 panels. I thought about using it also.

Did the 67-72 bed floor bolt right to the 60-66 frame stock locations?
Thanks

No it did not. I will have to drill some new holes.

Yeah i was lucky, mine wasnt too bad. In the back it was beat up, but after the 8 inches were taken out it took out most of the bad area.

**ChiefRocka** · 12-19-2009, 10:12 AM

jonzcustomshop · 12-19-2009, 10:13 AM

Hey, Cap'n. My '66 is a short stepper & to find a bed floor that was nice, I had to use one from an '03 Silverado. Was obviously from a construction type longbed truck w/200K on it, but floor was still nice--go figure. It worked VERY nicely. Worst part was the holes I had to drill & then file square w/a 3-sided file.

Looking back, it may have been a bigger job of fitting had it been a fleetside or a longbed.
HTH,
sam
