71 Sweptline Bed Strips Long Bed Help
As the thread reads, I got my first Sweptline long bed. I'd like to replace the rusty bed floor that has holes in it. I plan on using rough cut red oak for the bed floor for a rustic look.
I have scoured the interwebs, and can't seem to find bed strip kits for 71 swept. Any help is appreciated, thanks ahead of time.

Only Utiline boxes had wood floors in the Sweptline years.
This source might get you to where you're trying to get though.....

I did see the Mar k website. So I guess I'm out of luck, I'll have to come up with something custom.
