just picked up a good 70's bed, floor has rust issues, I have seen someone here put wood on top of the floor but what about replacing the ribbed section of the floor with wood?
thanks

Re: Wood floor bed
I've seen a couple things on the net about this when researching going the OTHER way with my flareside. All info I found was for Chevies but it'll still be relevant. http://www.mar-k.com/Catalog/PDF/Instru ... 72conv.pdf http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/paint-body ... loor-swap/ http://www.mar-k.com/steel_floor_to_wood_bed.aspx Good luck and if you go ahead with the project be sure to post pictures of your work.

Re: truck bed wood floor
Here's an idea, anyone thought of using old reclaimed wood, treated correctly, for the floor of their fleet side bed?

Re: truck bed wood floor

Re: truck bed wood floor
Our very own tylerb43 put a wood floor in his styleside https://fordification.com/forum/viewtop ... &start=615 Back up to around page 25 and back in his project thread and you can see how he did it. Way to go, Tyler!

Re: truck bed wood floor
I have always called the non step side beds, fleetside, thought I saw a ford dealer call them that in the 70's and it stuck.
