sheetmetal in bed???

i am wanting to smooth out the inside of my bed by laying all new sheetmetal in. i am curious what gauge of metal are you guys using????

im using 14 gauge. i wouldnt use anything thinner than 16 gauge.

thanks for the info, are you removing your existing floor and sides or are you just laying over the factory floor and sides????

laying it over

16 guage will work, u can run a full bead on it, thats what i doing with mine, and i'm laying it over the factory floor

If you're gonna lay it over the factory bed floor, you can use 16 gauge no problem.

I whent with all new.I used 1" tubbing for braces and 16 gauge for the floor works and looks great but heavy as shit!!

i used 10 gauge on my shit but that is way overboard + i drag alot so it hopefully will help...........

oh & also i built a frame to lay the sheet on.

im using 18 gauge, b/c its easier to work with, and i dont think u should need any heavier gauge, if u lay it over the stock floor and bed walls.
