Removing wood bed & installing steel?

Is it possible to install a steel bed after a wood bed has been removed? I like the look of a wood bed but it isn't very functional for hauling. I'd like to install a steel floor and shoot it with linex or rino bed lining.

Has anyone done this? Do you have some pictures.

By the way, I removed the wood bed last night. I found the best way to get the bolts off was to tighten them down with an air ratchet until they snapped off. They wouldn't loosen up with all the rust on em. The bolts that stripped or spun in the socket had to be ground off. I went through an entire wheel by the end of the night.
