Trying to get my '54 3/4-ton back into service.
Box floor is gone; needs floor, and rust-repair around the edges.
I have none of the original bed-wood.
The rear and intermediate cross-sills are present and usable.
Looking at kits from the various vendors, it appears that the OEM plank-style wood kits are made-up from 3/4" stock.
Has anyone done a 3/4-ton ("long-box") floor with a sheet of 3/4" plywood (exterior or Marine-grade) ?
If one sheet is not wide enough, I was thinking of doing two sheets and running an original bed-strip down the center and using original-type bolts / washers in the stock locations...
Anybody else gone down this path ?
Thanks !
Frank
