"WoW" Bed Strips????
I'm getting way ahead of myself but trying to research parts I'll need down the road. Looking at bed strips for my '48 Panel which is actually a sheet of plywood and not wooden slats like a pickup. The WoW strips I've seen advertised have hidden fasteners that slide into the strips. All I've seen are strips sold in kits, I'd like to find a source for buying individual strips. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you do not need bedstrips that actually serve as retainers for wooden slats then why buy them? There are many applications that I have seen using various types of metals that have been used to fabricate "slides" in bed floors. Flat stainless bar stock, round stainless rod, etc. If you are going to use a solid sheet of wood for the floor you may want to think about cutting a channel(s) in the wood to mount your slides into.

Good point CharlieLed. That's why I like to ask questions. People smarter than me make good suggestions. Guess I could find some stainless or aluminum flat stock material and router them into the plywood. Thanks.
