So do y'all keep it plywood or swap it out for metal? Or wood slats like the wood truck beds? I think a nice steel or aluminum diamond plate would look sick

Re: 1970 Burb , plywood floor in the back?

When I got my burb the plywood deck needed replacing. So I replaced mine with marine grade plywood.And it was quite the project. So I would imagine that most people leave it alone. Unless it needs replacing.

Ive never taken the wood out of a burb, I heard it was a very labor intensive job.
