Jerry -- like JMF said, plywood is probably your best bet as far as cost goes. You'll need to cut separate pieces to fit in front of and behind the wheel housings.

May cost even more than diamond plate, but a truck I used to own had an aluminum plate over the old bed wood. Since it was so smooth, it was great for hauling crushed rock, making it easy to shovel out.
