Freightrain Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I fixed up the floors in mine and had diamond plate lids made up. I have one original lid left, as I lost one on the highway so had new ones made.I think they could easily be replicated by a fab shop(or at home) if you have some basic pieces to work with....if you want originally looking ones.

I do plan to mount them inside the frame and use the space on the outside of the frame for toolboxes. (and maybe a beer cooler for the long hot truck shows)See you in a couple of weeks.Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ya, I like the chrome stock pieces.......but didn't want to ask how much!!The hard part about diamond plate is keeping it looking new. After a few years in the sun mine is starting to show it's age. Even with polishing it just doesn't clean up as nice as new. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
