Went from steel plate over the wood to factory specs. My dad and I cut, routed, and stained the wood ourselves. Used the bed strips I had in the truck since they were still in good enough shape and got new bolts all around. Completed this part of the project over the summer, and not long after used it to snag a fridge for my dorm room. I added some tie down points since there weren't any down low from the factory.
All the info on this forum has helped me a ton since I bought the truck, thanks everyone.
