Hot Rods Let's finish the 50 Chevy pickup

...how about 3/4 inch treated plywood with metal strips...
... you could use two peices with the split in the middle to go all the way bed side to bedside.
...just an idea.

 

I used 3/4 plywood and screwed metal strips to it for the look.
Sealed it with poly.

 

I stole the steel bed floor out of a newer truck. A little cheap paint, or spray in bed liner, or a bed cover and all is good.

 

You might consider osage orange (hedge wood), which is as tough as you and will never rot. If you check around the countryside you should be able to find a sawmill that can cut some planks to your specs.
As for naming the truck, how about schadenfreude? The definition: Pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

 

Yeah it's disc, 6" thru 8" wide will work. Either bolt circle will work man. I appreciate ya looking. It's no priority, lot of other stuff to do to the truck, just looking ahead.

 

If ya find anything, text me a picture or give me a call anytime.

 

Nice digs man

 

How about plastic deck boards for your bed. Durable as hell and they don't rust.

 

There's another thing they don't do............ They don't look like wood.
Not saying they are a bad idea, but if it's the wood look you're after, keep lookin'....

 

Great to see ( hear) you getting back into it! Not commenting on your life, enough said already. Look forward to following along with your progress. I always learn things from your posts, even when you’re asking questions. Cheers.

 

And just when we thought that there couldn't be anything worse than those OT wheels...

 

Doesn't matter what you use for a bed floor. Put enough oily, greasy, rusty crap in it, and nobody will notice
anyway .

 

Now that right there is funny, no matter who you are!

God Bless

You got the bigs and littles on the wrong ends.....
And I thought shit on here had to be older than '65.

 

Those are cool trucks. As far as a name: One of the guys in my little home town in Oregon had a dark blue 50 Merc 2 door and he used white olde English lettering to say "The Naked Crotch". right behind the front wheels. The name is available now because the police made him sand it off and there are now black primer spots on the fenders. Jus sayin.

 

You want to be able to sleep at night don't you?

 

What is this "sleep at night" thing you posted about? I take a nap during the afternoon.

 

Online search "Corvette 15" steel wheels" if you want 15s in 4.750 pattern.

^^^^^ Ouch!

 

I have a 'nanny nap' most days to, Doesn't stop me from sleeping during the night.

 

Doesn't hurt near as much if you say, "Only $649.99" .

 

Do they come with factory correct wheel weights? Just asking.

 

I also chose treated plywood for my bed.
I just put a darker stain on it then applied penofin clear oil for wooden decks etc...
Not going to hurt my feelings if I'm hauling a motor and it drips oil on it, or if it gets a gouge in it I can easily apply more stain & oil to hide it.
I bent up a end cap for it to hide the end grain of plywood.

 

Instead of deleting all those pictures of our rides with off topic wheels, maybe the Mods can just put Lloyd covers on them? [/QUOTE]
Or they could just quit being so fukking childish about what is seen.

 

I guess I need to add the broke part. What I'm saying is it rolls and moves on the current wheels, no I'm not a fan of them. Not what I would've put on it, but I didn't buy them for myself. Getting my business back in order is the current priority.

 

Hey Lloyd, the butt gasket thing. I’ve worn a few over my head via some of my joker friends.

 

Of course! The weights have to be numbers matching with the wheels.

 

Hard at work ya know lol, between putting floor pans in a jeep and a trunk pan in a Pontiac, I got the pedal box in, and in the right location this time lol. I'm not mad about it
