to do a wood bed is $500-600, you can get a used metal floor for $100-200.

I found a 72 chevy truck bed for $100 on Craigslist that was the perfect candidate. The bed was beat up, banged up and rusted... except for the floor...
60-62 frames are wider than 63-66 frames.
The bolt pattern is wider so to use a 67-72 bed floor on a 60-62 frame, holes will need to be drilled to bolt the bed down.

Other than cheap asian made garbage, a GOOD wood floor with hardware is going to cost $800-$1000.

I have bought my last 7 stock steel bed floors for $150 or less
