You'll have to ask to see if the ribs are the same width and
distance apart.

I have a bed that i'm willing to hack up if needed. I believe the floor is in pretty good shape. The back corners are jacked up, I'm out in the Dallas, Tx area.

Re: metal for bed????

Finally got a chance to measure the ribs. The 77 ribs are 1 5/8ths, both rib and flat, with a 1/4" rise. Both the 66 and the 69's have 2" ribs and flats with 1/8th rise. Hope this helps. Mike

Re: metal for bed????
I called millsupply and they said they only had specialized panels for trucks other than Dodge. (80's Chebbies and Phords)
I wish someone knew where they were being made and get just like a full sheet before it is cut or anything and then ue it.
The ribs wouldn't be exactly original but they would look very nice.
