67-72 Wood Beds

[cff]

Can someone tell me what years wood was available for the bed floor in 67-72 chev/gmc trucks? Was it an option or was the steel floor the option? Or did steel become the standard at a certain point and wood was no longer available? Thanks, Ron

I'm not sure, but it seems like most short boxes have wood beds. I don't believe I have ever seen a SPID sheet that indicates wether a truck has a wood or metal, either way, but I'm sure there must be some out there. I ordered a new SB 4 wheeler back in 76 and I could have had either one. I think wood floors were available until the early 80's. Maybe someone will come on with a little more information and maybe even show us a SPID sheet with some information.

There are numerous threads on wood beds in the pickup section (You have wandered into the lonely Suburban and Panel section). I believe that wood was standard in the 67-72 years and metal was the option and metal bed would have been listed on the SPID. But I could have that all wrong. Use the search box above and click the 67-72 button and you will find the experts have already answered your question.

Thanks. Didn't notice I posted in the burb section.

I think the wood was optional 67-72 they called it a Pickup box floor I believe.. All the steppers had wood though

while we're here in the burb house, they did have plywood cargo area floors

and Longhorn pickups had wood bed floors..

All Longhorn trucks should have a wooden floor in the bed...
