Pergo is a imitation laminate floor. Formica makes one which has a better moisture warranty. Both come in many wood-like finishes. I use a set of Formica samples in my tile store to replicate cabinet finishes when customers are selecting ceramic tile. Costs about 3 to 4 dollars a sq.ft. or so.

Wimmer" Subject: FTE Pre61 - Loose Hood Loose Hood: My hood on my 53 pops up in the back nearly 3 inches. I have removed and cleaned the hinges, installed new springs and adjusted them as best I could. Anyone know of a good fix? Are the "rebuilt" hinges worth buying?

I've had mine on my daily-driver '56 for about 6 mos, and love it. No problems, easy open and close, and amazing engine access. No more bruises on the back of my head! Got mine (a No Limit kit) thru Sacto Vintage. Good luck! >From: "Hunter L.

Bet you couldn't tell the difference from the oak planks unless you looked underneath. That sounds like a good idea for my 55.

I tried that once(I don't know if it was cabinet grade, Home Depot). It looked good until I was at a show with a little rain, dried the truck and put the wet towel on the truck bed and forgot it. I have a bed cover. That was it for the plywood, big stain. If I had half a brain the plywood would still be on the truck.

Less work than plywood, looks original and looks best. The stainless steel strips make the finishing touch. If the truck is being restored to original you must use black painted strips. That's my opinion.
