My '49 1/2-ton Panel came with (original?) wood planks....while trying to
find bed strips, Jim Carter's did some research and found there was a later
switchover to plywood (still with strips though)....the bed strips were also
a different length and punch pattern than the pickups. It took a little
time (I had to ship them a sample of my old strips) but they fashioned new
ones for me.
I also refinised the original pine planks...they are a little beaten-up in
places but look 'period'...and I couldn't walk-on/use the floor if I'd
replaced it with oak 'furniture'.

i thought plywood was the standard for all subs and panels. all the ones i
have(2 subs, 4 panels) have the plywood factory and all the others i have
seen are the same.
