I think if you don't use it for anything but a show truck this would be an ingenius idea for an everlasting wood bed. only thing is it's plastic & will scuff really easily so if it's not jus' a show stopper then nevmind i mentioned it lol  | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 83 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 83 | I am considering laying down a big solid sheet of treated plywood or something and bolting diamond plate over everything. How expensive is this plastic stuff? Does it come in big sheets? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 68 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 68 | it's expensive if you buy enough for a deck but a few planks wouldn't be too bad compared to alternative ideas & no it comes in boards like 2x4's etc. it's called Rhino Deck Boards. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 | didn't someone do that to their bolt? use those boards... I know several people were pondering it at one time or another.
it has been discussed before.

It will be a while 'cause i'm still in the "project" phase  | | |
