    ive been pondering on the idea of a wood bed floor on my 85 xtracab. i wanna do cherry wood with chrome inserts, that with a black paintjob would look great. has any1 else done this to their trucks? if so any tips or perhaps step by step instructions? any help atall would be much appreciated.

    wouldnt be bad... i would just build a new floor above the old with angle iron and some bracing then attach the wood and strips... you could use the strips to hold the wood and attach them to the bracing..
