Bedsides ?
i have a wood bed and im going to take the wood out and put steel floor in
i was wondering if you can do this without changing the bedsides? Can you use wood bedsides with a steel bed? |

Re: Bedsides ?
The only things you will have to change will be the front panel and the crossmembers. The bedsides will work perfectly as will the wheels tubs.

Re: Bedsides ?
i am in the process of doing the opposite, steel to wood. the bedsides can be used with both but u will need to change the front bed panel. an adapter is also sold that can be welded on.

Re: Bedsides ?
Yes the bedsides are the same. the front header panel is different and rear cross sill is different but that should be with the steel floor when you get it.
