well my bed floor is dented/rusted.. if i find one where the bed is decent because my sides are fine.. how hard would it be to use the other floor with my bed keeping it square and all that

Re: if i buy a bed how hard would it be to swap floors out
Steel floor is pretty much self-aligning, you will want to measure to be sure. A wood floor is a lot harder to square up since every part moves. You will have two spot welds to cut on the rear bed posts at the bottom on each side. Useful tip, do not try to loosen any of the bolts that hold the bedsides to the floor. Tighten them until they twist off, they will just spin and spin if you loosen them.
