[Pickering Snow]

the best one some one told me was a piece of plate steel fits the whole bed will not slide and gives you weight and a flat bed to hall other stuff.

Rick have you priced steel latley you would need at least 1/4 to make it worth your while and Like Chris said even if it were tread plate it is slippery.

The service truck floor was a disaster waiting to happen before i sprayed it with liner tread plate uncoated is horr slippery couldnt image plain plate steel.

I think a divider in front of the wheel house and salt is still the best ballest around 1k does the trick on the supers . Back when my Dad owned the buss and 4x4's were not his cup of tea he would take 2x4's , make a form insert a lift hook and poor concrete into the form once set up he would just lift the concrete ballest block in and out for the winter. he didnt buy a 4x4 until 78.
