I don't like welding much to the bed itself so it worked out well having the steel tubing frame inside the bed and the bed actually bolted to it and made the middle of the bedsides have support. if those bed isn't supported there it will wobble at high speeds. I have that problem on my 51' and I'm fixing it. Looking back even on this build I would have plumbed all my lines much better.

Dumb question on your picture...is that 14GA or 11GA 1x1 tube? Seems like 11GA might be overkill. Not like I'm using the bed to haul sheep around or something.
