Re: Steel Bed Floor?
We used a bed from a long bed(wide side, of course) 2003 Silverado--had the bed sitting around--and modded to go in shortbed/stepside '66. A tad of cutting, but most of the time required was on 'squaring' the round holes with a small file to accept the orig. shoulder bolts. Surprisingly, there was very little of the longbed left over. I hired the job done, so I don't recall where the cuts were made: seems like majority of material came off just one end.
We covered the floor, sides, tailgate, and front panel with something akin to Rhino, but claimed to be better. It really looks great, even now about 3 years later. Were I to do the floor over, I'd do the same thing again. I still have the complete stainless/wood kit in storage--had it from the beginning and chose the steel route instead.
The Rhino-like application seems so thick; I've been asked if it was a bedliner.
