does anyone have any pics of a nice well done diamond plate bed? I'm starting to figure which route to go, and I've seen in the past I believe a couple nice well done metal beds, I'm not all about the original looks, more old school hot rod. The wood is nice, but would like to see if anyone has done something really nice with metal before I decide.

I will get a pick of my diamond plate bed for you today. It looks good, but I'm pulling it for wood. Wish you were closer, I'd set you up with a real deal.

 

Saw this one on Ebay

 

got a price on a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum diamond plate $216. a little cheaper than a wood kit.

 

That price sounds about right.


Well, I shot a pic today and would love to post it. But, I still can't do so and frankly, the hassle, one has to go through to load a pic, just isn't worth it.
If you'd like to see what the bed looks like, send me an IM and I'll send the pic back to you.

 

Just saw this on FB the other day. Airbrush guy in Indiana. Not my cup of tea but maybe with a different subject?

 

I'm pretty sure Uncle Ned is well loved by everyone, but that would make resale more difficult.

 

I used a donor metal bed. See the thread here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...bed-floor.html

 

maybe you've see this one. trex deck. This was slightly used so I just face screwed but you could screw from the bottom side to provide a cleaner look.




2nd hand Trex Decking that I got from a friend for free.

 

That is really nice!!!

 

Thank you.

 

I can tell you that i am doing a metal bottom from a F250 in mine. There are plenty with damaged sides around that dont effect the floor. Basically the same as smalello posted.
