Re: Wood bed floor option years?

I dont know if it was really an option as more of the way gm cut cost on the low end trucks. here's my theory on wood beds; 73 was the first year for an all steel bed I belive (thats your option) so gm was using up the leftover wood bed frames on the low end trucks.Ive seen trucks as new as 79 with a wood bed wether it came from the factory that way I dont know.
here in the northwest I remember that you could tell a 73,74 truck because the beds rusted out from the top down and because of that Ive scrapped a lot of wood floor beds.

but if you look hard enough you may find one good hunting
