I am restorig my sisters 26 pickup, and am thinking about replacing the wood in the bed Has anybody used the oak floor set out of Mac's? Is it a one piece laminated plywood board, or are those seperate oak slats?

Dennie: Not positive about '26, but I believe the original wood was southern, hard [as in yellow ] pine. Painted black. I did my own from 3/4" stock I bought from a dealer I located on the net.

OK,I am going to leave the surface natural wood color, and install some new stainless model a bed strips on top of the wood. That really makes it look nice. I just didn't know if the ones in Mac's were individual boards or on large piece.

Dennie: Nothing handsomer that natural finished oak or ash. Both are easy to work. Post some pictures when you are done.

When I did my 26 Roadster PU, I used 3/4 plywood with a oak face, and attached the strips without routing the wood. I think it keeps from scratching the wood with the strips elevated a little.

When the steel strips were installed originally, they did extend above the boards "a little". They took the wear of the load, extending the life of the wood.

I don't know about a '26, but the '25 boards are 13/16, and are southern yellow pine painted black.

That's a concidence. I just rebuilt our back deck with yellow pine that might have measured 13/16". I've never used it before. Seems like decent wood.
