    Gravy, If you have to just cut a piece of sheet steel (lite) to fit the floor and have someone tack weld it onto your floor. That's if you have holes developing in the bed. The bigger holes on the side you could cut out the worst and pop rivet a couple pieces of tin there. Tin you usually can hammer into shape if needed.

    I got a mig welder I could do it. I was actually thinking about doing that already...When I first got the truck the oil and coolant got milky. I thought it had a bad head gasket but the chain had worn through the timing cover coolant passage. I ended up replacing the chain and guides and I'm cheap so I actually welded the timing cover with my alum. spool gun attachment then I filed the alum. beads down flat and reused the cover. Worked awesome.
