Replacement panels for style side bed floor.

I have a '66 F100 long bed with a rusted bed floor and was wondering where to find replacement bed floor panels.

I found some on LMC but they state that they are for 67-72 trucks. Would there be any reason why these wouldn't work if I were to replace the entire bed floor with them?

Any other recommendations, especially something close to Atlanta, GA?

C5TZ-9911215-B (replaced C4TZ-9911215-B) .. 8' Styleside Bed Floor Pan / Obsolete

Applications: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F100 4WD

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has, and AFAIK, no one reproduces it.

The pan is just the ribbed section only. The smooth area in front of and behind the wheelhouses were only sold with the quarter panels (bedsides).

1967/72 is not the same.

Any recomendations on what to replace it with?

I'm just using this as a hobby truck / weekend hauler for home projects, so it doesn't need to be a 100% collector correct.

You can probably do a search on here and find some ideas. I recall seeing threads where guys took some measurements then went to the salvage yard and cut the bed floor out of a Dodge and welded it in. Talked to someone else who used a Chevy bed floor the same way. Others have used diamond plate, etc. If you're going to just try to patch the rusted part of yours rather than replace the entire floor, and want the ribs to match, you'll have to find a '61-66 donor because they changed the style/size of the ribs after that.

Hope that helps a little....

I'm planning on replacing the entire bed floor so I can probably get the measurements from my bed and find something from the salvage yard. Thanks for the help.

I plan to use the bed floor from a Dodge for my '61 uni replacement. No holes cut for bolts or anything else in them. Can pretty much do what you want.

Bookmarked just a couple links FTE member's posted that may provide ideas. May try going to recycle metal scrap yard and find a piece that with fit the bed then cut to size.
