The cross sills are interchangeable, they are the same width whether they come from a LWB bed or a SWB bed. There IS a difference in them however between steel floor and wood floor beds.

If you are talking about the steel strips that separate the wood planks on a floor, I see no reason why they could not be cut down. Personally, I have never run across any of those in a junkyard that I would consider using.
