If anyone has any recommendations for a good sealer to use on the underside and edges, I'd appreciate it. I want this to last a LONG time! Maybe bedliner spray for the underside of the wood? Thanks again.

you are not going to find plywood 6' wide. you will have to use 2 sheets at I believe 35 1/4" wide each with a rabbet on each sheet 1/2" wide x 3/8" deep so that they will half lap each other in the middle when it goes together.
the metal wear strips are not set in the plywood but rests on top in a panel.
