Re: Post your Bed Wood/Metal - Customized/Modified or Stock

I used (2) pieces of 3/4" pressure treated plywood for the bed floor. Functionality on a budget and not beauty was the goal. The center seam is covered by a stainless bed strip and the wood is attached to the bed around the perimeter with carriage head bolts.

Used Thompsons Waterseal to seal all the plywood and painted all the bed angles and other surfaces that contact the wood.

Cut wood for the wheel tubs and fabricated supporting steel inside the wheel tubs for the wood.









A full size long bed rubber bed mat was then cut down to fit my widened mini-tubbed short bed. The mat is about 1/4 inch thick and is very heavy.
