  Vile, I read your post a while back about the brand new bed you assembled. Sounds like the floor was a pain as far as shipping goes. In the end were you happy with the way it all fit together?
Would you recommend people go that route or look for a good rust free orig?

In the end I ended up with two free floors So it wasn't that much of a pain  ;D As far as putting together the bed sections, I recommend elongating every single hole in advance. Personally I would look for a rust free oem bed unless you plan on a show truck.
