Wood floor/Steel floor question

I always thought that wheel tubs and front bed panel are the same for wood floor and steel floor. I had a guy here telling me that they are different. Does anyone out there know for sure, Thanks in advance

Re: Wood floor/Steel floor question

Wheel tubs are the same as they bolt to the top of the floor but the front bed panel is different as the wood bed is about 3/4" taller as the floor mounts and bolts over the front bed panel flange. Mark

Re: Wood floor/Steel floor question

The wood front panel is about 1" deeper then the metal panel allowing for the wood to rest on the lip. The rear floor support is also different. The quarter panels use "L" shaped angle brackets for fastening the wood.
