Aluminum bed floor kits and more

I was up in Kansas City picking up some altman latches for the 55 and they were peddling these floors it looked ok. Cost with polished strips was $1569.95 . I don't know if that is more than normal wood kits or not as I am not ready for any floor yet. Two threads in one I have to sign in each time that I leave the site is that normal now with all the changes ?

No you need to go into your browser and find where it asks if you want it to save passwords . And it should be asking you when you sign in. PS thats about $ 2500 + for us northerners . Probably allot more when we're done getting Trump'd .

I looked at a display at a booth at the F100 Super Nats the year before last...the floors look really good and come in a wide range of colors and styles. A bit pricey but by the time you buy a wood floor, fit it, sand it, finish and install it, you are spending some serious cash anyway. Plus, you will be doing it again in the not too distant future unless you keep your truck in a vacuum sealed container.

I like that idea, Charlie. Where can you buy a vacuum sealed container?

If I hadn't already bought my oak boards for this pickup I would have bought the aluminum boards. When I talked with them they still hadn't started making the proper board widths to fit our boxes, I was 6 months early. First time I have to refinish these boards I'll be ordering them though..

Now I've seen everything! And only $399. It just looks like a model car cover. Which it essentially is only bigger and stronger. Don't know about the vacuum sealing though.

Actually we saw one set up at a car show . It's pressurized by a small fan with filtered air and is claimed no mice , dust etc . Truthfully it really didn't look like a terrible idea if you kept you car in a garage off season and I believe there is also an outdoor one .

That looks good but the cost is more than I could justify. I made my own metal bed and had it coated.
