I am looking at buying a new bedfloor for my f100 short bed , any recommendations as I know they dont reproduce for the short bed and the only used one I found is on a running truck that there asking $2900 for it , might get that down some but then I would just be removing a good bed from a solid truck , so who sells a decent quality new one ? I know I will have to cut it down for a short bed , sort of sucks as all my braces are solid just a holy bed floor of rust

 

You can buy a floor bed for an f150 all the way up to 96. Or hit up some junkyards and find a solid bed for any ford truck up to 96.

 

So far what few junk yards I can hit don't have what I need or at least no solid ones .

Buyer beware tho on lmc or any other repro metal as it's usually thinner than OEM.

Or use car-part.com to search junkyards for beds

 

My son and I are in the same boat. I have thought about cutting down the 8 footer from LMC, but that seems like a lot of work. Yards in my area haven't had any either. May just have to use several patch panels.

 

very expensive but it is a possible option,

Southern Truck sells rust free GM, Chevrolet, GMC, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Mazda, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Nissan truck parts and also does truck restorations and customized paint jobs.

 

Thanks , they are expensive but sent email if they sell just the floor , will see

 

72rtchallenger, what state you in, it doesn’t appear when i click your name.

 

broktruk after you put the mouse on his name and click it, then click view public profile to get his stats. It happens to be Kentucky.

And X2 on locate a up to 96 truck bed that has a decent floor and wala new bed once the grafting it done.

Thanks bud, this i-phone isn’t letting me see. I thought if he was closer he could slice what he needed out of this 77. Is Kentucky a rust zone? Was friggin hot when i was there.

 

Prob be expensive to ship a 4x8 sheet of steel.

 

My old 79 SWB truck had a 1/4 inch Thick steel diamond plate for a floor.

1/4 is $389.12

 

Is just the floor compatible up to 96, or are all the inner bed parts compatible?

 

I believe the floor and header panel only?

 

The inner bedsides are also compatible. The ones I bought new for the Pumpkin back in '95 came with an "E" part number meaning 1980's.
