ive had my dump truck for a yr now..with the same old ugly bed. its 17ft, and would lean like crazy when i first got it. i stiffened up the under frame on it by welding box tubing a few feet apart throught the frame and it helped tremendously.
the floor on the other hand is just hideous. floor is real dented up and i get dirt stuck daily...real annoying. was wondering if people really lay down wood to help out. i was thinking of putting small 1 inch thick wood in the dips, and laying down 2x10s longways throught the entire floor. anyone try this? cost of replacing my floor was about 2800..which is not worth it for this box. just want keep cost down. my truck empty weighs about 25k pounds, which is also a concern.

If you think it sticks now, get some wet dirt on the wood and see how fast it builds up.
