My truck bed it beat to heck. I was looking at it today and it looks like the middle section is a separate piece of sheet metal. Can I unbolt that and replace it with a piece of 1/8" diamond plate? A buddy of mine said that it looks separate but the whole bed is spot welded together as one piece. It's an 04 F150 Heritage. --Ian

its replaceable--wherever you see the seam line--it comes apart---AFTER, you drill out all the spot welds---------!!then after you get the center out--youll want to fix the bent crossmembers---unless your chunks missed them!! then clean the spot weld areas, and weld the new bed in..havent checked a while on the cost of a new center piece----and this wont be a one day job!!!!!
