After finding a lot of great info on pros and cons of diffent wood and wood treatment I still did not find a solution for cracks mentioned.
For the equipment trailer the cracks are OK but on the 16' flat bed dump truck the cracks bug me because they let sand, dirt and stuff like fine ground lime filter through or stop up the cracks.
It really bugs me getting down on the twin hoist rams too.
We had a 1953 Chevy pick up with would floor with metal strips that bolted down in the cracks. So the wood could swell/dry/etc but no cracks showed. The flooring was groved so the metal strips were somewhat recessed.
Any ideas on covering/sealing the cracks for a truck bed will set out year round.
