[MOG] 404 Bed floor, wood?

[mogger at thinkin3d.com]

The ideal bed deck is Apitong. 
Apitong is often used in commercial truck beds, both box and flatbed.  It's 
durable, and naturally rot and sun resistant. And it wasn't that expensive, 
either. 
You can rip it down to the 'right' width, and make your own lap joints, or 
perhaps the lumberyard would do it for you. (The one near me was willing to do 
both for ~.10 per foot, as I recall.)

Best of luck!
Greg
