    Hi,
    I just bought a Lufkin End dump trailer and the floor of the dump bed is pretty rough. It even has a few little areas where you can see all the way though it and see daylight if you are on the ground looking up underneath the bed. I have called some trailer shops but a liner is like $4k to install- ouch! Would it be cheaper to get a welder to weld some steel sheets? Its a steel 8' wide by 34' long and used to haul small rocks 1".
    Thanks
