Thanks LMC, placing my first order soon for the floor pans and rockers for my '60 C10. Kevin is a huge help and a great spokesman for LMC. A true craftsman.
Yup, it’s time consuming. My recommendation is find a local machinist that would take the time to do it. It’s a 2 person job and maybe limit the amount of beers lolz
I had a 57 Chevrolet 1-ton panel van that I had to redo the floors in making and routing my own boards that I don't think we're as hard as this... Nor as expensive
It looked delicate. They even handled it like it was. 10 minutes, a 5 year old boy, I mean a boy, not like we see so much of today, his cowboy boots, and him jumping around, would probably look like a hail storm came. But, I'm only guessing. But, the look just isn't wood. Looks like those vinal boards for decks. I think those would work, and be tough as nails.
Hey LMC - Guys, why don't you re-pop floors for 66 Ford Styleside trucks? There are hundreds of these around and nobody makes one. You have bunches of guys like me that are going to have to jerry-rig a solution that works for our old trucks where the bed is too damaged/rusted for use. I've got two '66 beds and I'm less than three hours from your corporate headquarters. You can swing down and take any measurements you need to see if you can make something for us. If you can do it, you'll sell a few hundred of them quickly because there are bunches of us trying to figure out what to do.
I've actually started a series of videos on what I'm doing to replace mine. I need to film another and get it posted. If you click my name it should take you to the list of videos where I describe what I'm going to do and I show some progress on how it's going. Don't worry about subscribing or liking or anything, I just want to help others figure this out too. If you watch and have some suggestions do not hesitate to leave them on the pages.
i can get a nice 66 ford project truck with the matching box cheap from my friend just i have to many projects all ready and many more fords chevy's and dodges if some one wants a project car lot of them have no rust in them good body's the 68 chev i got from him was perfect no dings or body work still had the factory paint on it i got for 1000 with built 327 all matching # but i am putting a stroke 454 in it that i got from him for 500 with tunnel ram any body that builds cars need to check this guy's place out a lot of trucks he sells for 200 / 500 and they are well worth it
Seems a bit lazy of the manufacturer to not engineer it to use stock mounting holes. Ridiculously overpriced for something not designed with the consumer in mind...
@@adriantomlin2902 maybe so, but it lasts a lot longer than actual wood planks that you'd have to to put on a sealant and finish on all sides of the planks
Traversebean2 Bmx not when you factor in that you may have to refinish or replace regular bed wood twice or 3 times during this ones life span. And you don’t have to baby this like you would regular wood if you want it to look good
It may cost more than a wood bed in the short term But, when you factor in the fact that you are a lot more likely to have to replace the planks after a certain amount of time, adding in the whole process of finishing the planks top, bottom and edges It's a lot cheaper in the long term
Hey Carlo_boy, our aluminum bed floors are made of aircraft-quality. Making them durable and weather resistant with minimal expansion compared to wood.
"How did you wood get all those dents in it?" "My kid had his cowboy boots on and was jumping up n down in it" It looks good, but it's impossible, so far, to duplicate the look of real wood with a printer. And it will bend, and dent, I'm guessing not to hard either. The weight issue is good if you race it for sure. .
