I welded tabs on my frame and used 2" x 2", 3/16" thick aluminum angle as cross members to mount my floor to. The tabs will have to vary in height so that the cross members end up at the same top height. Then I mounted my aluminum sheet floor to that. I plan on replacing the aluminum sheet with wood in the next year or so. Placed every 18" (I think), the floor is strong enough to support some load- I would not be concerned about standing on it once I get the wood in.
