Kevin, you will get more traction in the 45 owners section. If you search you will find some owners who made their own parts..

Thank you, hope the book is treating you well. It sure it inspirational.
Paul they produce both lengths. Part number 4512 is 2” longer (70 5/16") than 4510 (68-5/16").
@maldoran
Somewhere on here there’s a thread where a guy who had a 45 built a jig for his press that allowed him to bend the metal to rebuild a bed floor. This might be something you’d want to try?
You can see all the fab work @miller is doing to @3_puppies former early ‘63 SWB FJ-45 here:

Picked this truck up in Montana. Its been a couple weeks, but tearing it apart pretty quick so thought I would start this build. My Dad and I drove his 6.4l Hemi Ram from WI to Helena MT to get this rig. Drove through Yellowstone on way home. What a great park! Truck is mostly complete. Rear...

@Unimogguy I thought they were only producing 1 or the other, nice they are doing both, it's and option
@Awl_TEQ had made stuff in the past, but I think all his stuff is going thru 4 wheel parts? in Calgary

S10 bed floors seem like they will work but u would have to do front to back middle section being not the same rib spacing. You can bend it with a sheetmetal brake. Cool cruisers will make u some long qtrs. I made my own. It’s a ton of work and there will be more rust than u planned. Im in it now but for the price those aquala beds are a great option. So the floor is flat it will be a great truck either way and save u a year of work! Post some pics
Hey Kevin, Feel free to reach out if you want to get a aluminum bed made. I'm sure we can do something for you!
