Re: Used Parts Build

I have been looking at the bed and ways to mount it. Not really sure I want to use the stock bed floor. I had to move it by myself with some dollys and it is heavy!

I was thinking for now just to run some aluminum crossmembers bolted to the inside of the bed sides and deal with putting the actual floor in later. I was thinking of 2x3x.188 aluminum rectangular tube. Probably run 4 of them, one on each end and one before and after the tires. Any thoughts? Any of you engineers out there want to comment on the material choice for the crossmembers?
