Re: Box Floor
I was going to do the same as what your thinking about doing, but then I changed my mind and went with the wood. I'm glad I did!

Re: Box Floor

Re: Box Floor
I think wood is the right way to go but if your on a budget I think checkerplate isn't the worst thing to use.

Re: Box Floor
I'm going to be staing my wood soon. I'll try to get good pics of the assembly when the bed is finished with paint.

Re: Box Floor
im using a metal box bed from a full size truck ill post pic's as i go, as for wood, the last box i assembled i started with the outside rails first, dont tighten any bolts down till the whole floor is in, this allows for adjustments to the rails for the rite fit. the costomer had the box kit, so the job came together fast and easy.
