Re: Pickup floor bed
Thanks Rusty & Ronn:
I understand how this will work. I took a 5/8" plywood out of the bed that had some 1/4" shims to clear the crossmember! So same story with the new boards.
Thanks
Alan

Pickup floor bed
There are 2 options for a pickup floor bed with or without the metal cutout. Will either of these beds work in an original 1929 pickup?

Keith:
Thanks, I think you have the right solution, I agree removing the bed won't do any good!
The next issue is once removed the new slats should be able to be installed from the top, correct? ...

Re: Overheating
Thanks for all the suggestions I check the O ring & the antifreeze I am using. The timing sounds like the main reason!
Speed is not important problem free from being is the goal.!
