Re: Hardwood over a steel bed?
My original '69 stepside bed was all rotted out with badly rusted carbon steel strips.
I used a sheet of 3/4"X4' x8' marine plywood cut to fit and painted, with stainless strips just laid on top for looks. Didn't have to use those cross-sill bars, (whatever they're actually called) because there are no individual strips, making a light bed even lighter. ...lots of fun when you floor it! ![]() It's held up quite well over the years, and is plenty strong for hauling quads. etc. The two little hide-a-hook clamps with flip up cleats are for wrapping straps around quad axles and I put Eye Bolts in, also fro strapping down quads. for a very secure hold. ...oh sorry, should have read the title of this thread more carefully, there is no steel under my wood bed. ![]() Last edited by BRL; 08-31-2020 at 02:31 AM. |
