Truck bed floor..... complete.
Hey guys, just curious as to if anyone here has ever purchased a complete bed floor for the 73-87 C-10 trucks yet?
I have only found one place that has one available, and its LMC truck. Has anyone found any cheeper ones anywhere? Its the only thing keeping my truck off the road at the moment, and i am ready to just buy one , since the whole state of michigan cant seem to produce one. thanks! Taylor

not that bad of a drive. but there is a great place in oshawa, ontario "Bills Truck Stop" he has everything southern. and just about every single little part you need. michigan is 2 hours from me. oshawa is about an hour and a half north of me.

Re: Truck bed floor..... complete.
There are many nice complete trucks in the southwest US but beds are often an issue. If a truck has been used as a truck it likely has a lot of dents in the bed, especially the floor. Although the beds are usually rust free and solid, they are usually not cosmetically very nice.
If I were restoring a truck from scratch I would look for a commercial steel or aluminum flatbed - you can get those brand new in steel for about $1K. Add a dump hoist on a 3/4 or 1 ton and you have a nice hauler you can outfit with all kinds of tool boxes and storage compartments under the deck. |

Re: Truck bed floor..... complete.
Make sure that is southwest, not southeast - Florida can have some bad rust issues.
