Pickup bed floor

[StudebakerGene]

We are making some progress on my 37 C.E. I have ordered the seat (bench/ custom made) and found a front fender that I needed as well, (thanks forum members.) I have been working on it over @ Bob Peterson's CandB Studebakers and everything has been going well, not much metal replacement needed, with the exception of the bed. Exterior side panels are in great shape, I have a new replacement tailgate, 2" wider fiberglass fenders and will need to replace the inside wall panels and fill some holes in the bed flooring which leads me to my question. Bob stated that he thought there were some bed floors for sale a few years backs and I was wondering if whoever purchased them or had them for sale, still had one available for sale? I can fix mine but it has some serious (oil-canning) due to stuff being thrown in it over the years. Rather than spending all that time straightening the original floor, if someone has a replacement I am definitely interested, Please send me a PM and we can discuss--- Thanks

If one is not forthcoming, any shop that specializes in sheet metal should be able to bend one up for you. Our local sheet metal shop made one for a '37 CE about a dozen years ago. Perfect! And whatever gauge you choose.

There's a guy who makes tailgates....not sure if he makes floors or not. Seems like eating cake compared to a tailgate.

Richard Jandry (330-659-4637) sells the bed floors and tailgates.

Thanks fella's, I new someone out there had the answer, I definitely agree the bed metal is easier than the tailgate to produce...I'm glad I have a brand new reproduced tailgate already
