My dog rides in the bed. The back seat is for people. And since I have a lariat I certainly don't want the dogs nails digging into the seat and tearing the leather. And no hair in the truck is also nice. Plus he loves the back and loves the wind blowing through his ears, barking at passing cars, pointing at cats and birds, and just loves all the room back there.

I got a sheet of plywood and some cheap carpet and built a collapsible dog bed which keeps them from the nice leather. Gonna try it next weekend.

Also today I bought a 1/4 cord of wood thinking the bark and sawdust will be horrendous getting out. Not true either. Took my leaf blower and again, looks brand new.
Awesome product!!

Steel Load Floor
I just installed a folding Steel Load Floor under the back seat of my 2011 F350. The folding floor came out of a '06 F250/350. EASY. Unbolt the storage bin and bolt in the folding floor.Use the factory button head torx so they don't stick up too high. Ford dealer said this part was around $700. I paid $75 at the bone yard. Look for a split back seat that has been damaged or torn. That way they will be happy to sell the fold out floor seperatly. Good Luck!

Pictures of what you did?
And is this part a "crew cab" part?

2011 flat floor
Sorry, no pic's yet. Grey and raining today. My 2011 F350 is a Crew Cab. The '06-'11 back seat mounts(Crew Cab)are the same, as is the Folding Steel Load Floor. The Folding Load Floor attaches to the seat mounts at the same locations as the Storage bin. There is also a tab that bolts to the floor. Just trim a hole in the carpet and put in a seat mount bolt, the hole is already there in the floor of the new truck.The folding floor was only in models with the split rear seat(Lariat perhaps?). 2005 models may also be the same, I'm not sure. Look for the split rear seat not the rear bench. I have a tool box in the bed, so I wanted a flat, dry place to carry cargo.

We overcome the heat issue by opening the rear window on the truck and the front window on the cap. I bought I guess what you'd call a "gasket" that goes between the two and put a small fan on top of the rear seat. It blows the cold cabin air into the back. It definitely works. We did one trip where the temps were hovering around 100 degrees and when I opened the cap glass, it was nice and cool in there and the dogs weren't even panting.
