Can you install the wood floor with the cab OFF the bed? Say you are installing the truck piece by piece and wanted to put the bed on the frame in 1 piece, can it be done?

Not sure I understand what you are asking??? Do you mean can you make a frame for all the wood and drop the floor in in 1 piece? Is that what you are asking???

No, what I am trying to say is that I am cutting my frame down pretty soon but I already have sb bedsides and a new front section and I was wondering if I assemble my bed and then put it on the frame, can I install the wood floor with the bed not on the frame.

Good Question, I looked at all the pieces here and I don't see a reason why I couldn't assemble it off the truck, as it is the under bed supports that bolt to the frame, not the wood.

Everything you need should be there, I reccomend the gate being
on though, it will help line up everything that much more, just my opnion.
