redoing the bed floor... ideas?
the front 6 or so inches of my bed floor had been cancered out and the P/O's had used assorted license plates and bondo to patch it back in... i have since chopped out most of my bed floor, done a c-noch on the back and put a fuel cell in.. anyone have any ideas on how i should go about redoing the bed floor?

If you are looking to restore the truck, a donor bed would be in order, so you could graft out the floor.
With the C-notch you did, my guess is that you want something sevicable and decent looking. What about aluminum diamond plate? Very rugged and looks pretty good. If you need the bed floor to have a shape to accomodate the C-notch, the diamond plate is pretty easy to work with and very structural.
Other than that, you could just fab/patch your own steel floor. Personally, I wouldn't want to try to duplicate the floor beads, though. Too tough for me.
