Planning out the restore of a 1972 King 2H BP and need a little advice. What type & dimension of wood for floor and the interior side panels, both for horsey area and doors. I will be taking this down to the frame,sandblasting, doing some metal work. Thanks in advance and have a great Turkey Day!!

Personally, I would cover the sides and doors with Rumber or something similar-less to rot and have to replace later. My floor is aluminum so no good ideas for you there.

i dont think you can beat rumber for the walls, and if price wasnt a concern i would look real hard into it for the floor. or i would just use treated 2x8 for the floor, but thats just me.

If I remember right, the floor support spacing for trailers with rumber floors are a lot closer than trailers that have wood flooring, something that you might want to consider if replacing with rumber.

Rumber also comes in tongu/groove planks just like flooring. Don't know that it could support the weight by itself but over something else you shouldn't get leakage of urine and could extend the life of whatever flooring is underneath.
