Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I'm making a complete false floor that is three inches up from where it was originally. Basically, I'm welding 1/8" angle all the way around on the bedsides and the new wood will sit on top of the angle and be flush with the sides. I'm going to make new cross support pieces out of 1/8" thick 1" square tube. I don't have the material yet but will soon. The front bed mounts will be fabbed out of 3" pipe and I'm going to use an old cross rail that supported the wood to mount to. It fits perfectly into the space between the old flange that was on top of the wood and the angle that will be the new wood support. More pics to come soon.
