Can you take a photograph of the insert..it maybe worth looking for a fabricator to make one then powder coat it.

A friend of mine has a Ford Bakkie last made in the 70's - its a beefed up P100 pickup.. so you can imagine trying to get a new corrugated flat bed would to obtain.. in steps a local fabricator and for beer money voila! a new flatbed is made..

Here's the finished article..
