Re: bed floor width

How close a tolerance are you looking for? If you just need a ballpark (within 1/8 inch or so), and if you have the end bed panel, the floor should be the same width as the bottom (flange) end.

The end panel may be just a tad shorter than the floor width, but not much IIRC.

Thanks. I got the dimensions from Mar-K. Just ordered all the steel floor supports to make my Longhorn bed a steel one...
