I still have to do the floor of the bed. Since the truck will end up in Rainy Western oregon eventually, I'm planning to just use galvanized sheet steel.

That wouldn't be a bad idea... it would save you from having these ones getting marred up from the chains.
More than anything it's just having the steel wheels. More times than not I see them dang alcoa's on these trucks, can't stand those things on old iron. Cool truck though.
Got some work cut out for it in Oregon?
