Re: bed foor sheet metal
Lookup metal salvage yards in your yellow pages. Some of them sell off premium pieces instead of melting them.

Re: bed foor sheet metal
^^And move to 1980! Seems like buying a bed floor complete would be the way to go cost and time wise. Are you doing a raised floor or stock?

Re: bed foor sheet metal
I've thought about it, there's absolutely no cost savings.... sheetmetal would be way cheaper.

Re: bed foor sheet metal
Bed floor repair sections are available in 1/4 sections and some smaller patches.
If the whole floor is gone the bolt flanges & crosspieces are probably wasted. It'll be less $ and much less headache to get the whole shebang. |

Re: bed foor sheet metal
There was someone selling diamond plate for a good price in Michigan. I will see if I can find the ad.
