Wow!!!

Thank you for the floor pic, KQQL IT. I honestly didn't even realize they came out that easy.

ray_mcavoy, thank you so very much also, the added information and pictures really explained everything to me pretty well. The bed looks very nice, by the way.

Thought I was going to have to find another bed, but I suppose I could massage mine out to look decent, and save the hassle, and expense of actually trying to find one, then modify it without feeling bad. I'll never use my stake pockets, could just fill them, and notch out for a piece of square tubing for added support to straighten the rails.

I would just need to then notch my rear floor sill as you did, and if anything, I could fab up my own flange pieces. The rest seems like I could use the 67-72 pieces, I appreciate the part numbers.

A friend needs a custom wood bed with a hump done for his 66 sometime, and I was planning to do it for him, this will give me some added practice beforehand.

Very cool. Thanks so much to everyone.
