The Ford Barn

I am finally moving to the body work on my 40/41 pickup. After looking at the bed, I can't find a single straight panel, so I'm thinking of just buying a new one. I find them at Mack Products and Northern Classic trucks. Both offer them in parts or fully assembled. Mack's prices are significantly higher. Are their beds worth the higher price? How difficult are they to assemble? Do they require rivits or just nuts and bolts to assemble.

I'm also in need of a floor pan. Can anyone comment on the quality of the available floor pans. I have a spare cab with good floor pans, so could cut out and use that if the new pans are not very good.

If anyone wants the left over bed, let me know otherwise it goes to the metal recycler. The spare cab may be up for grabs too.
Thanks,
