sheet metal for k-5

I need to find a big enough piece of sheet metal to redo the bed of my new/used,(new to me but used) k-5 blazer (the one that jbk5) was selling. L.O.R........... "Lot's Of Rust" the rest of the sheet metal is no problem just the bed is what I need, & I know that tey sell it in sections for the c-10 16"x48" but I did not want to have that many weld mark across the floor, that's more work to please help,is there any sites for sheet metal this large? help & will send pictures of progress. thank you.

Bed floors for trucks use the same ripple metal material used on the Blazer. YOu might want to consider pulling a bed/bed floor out of a truck to use as a replacement. Rebuilding a bed floor from parts is a major undertaking with all the spot welds etc. Cutting a LWB or SWB bed floor down to Blazer length is do-able and probably the best solution short of finding a solid tub which is difficult to find anywhere east of the Mississippi.

Thanks for that Idea I was thinking that at first, but
with all the money that I would be spending in body parts & patch pieces that would be the smart thing to do & what ever I don't use I could go the other route. Thanks Again! JAY
