Raised Bed Floor Frame?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wondering what size and thickness square tubing I should use to build a frame to raise my bed floor? 1" x 2"? 11 Ga or thinner?

I'm about to do the same thing. I was thinking 1x1 with a 1/8" wall.

Are you raising the old floor or making a new one?

i cant speak for NPilot1975, but i'm making a new one to clear a notch and putting in a wood floor.

Initially I am looking to make a frame to support the bedsides and eventually I will reuse the old floor or use some plate for a new one. This is to clear raised frame/suspension. Thanx for any help, Jamison.
