Bed Crossmembers
Does anyone have any ideas for bed supports under my bed floor?? Unfortunately a couple of mine are rusted out. I have thought about just using square tubing, but I'm not sure I would like the look that would give.
Thx |

Anyone?

Re: Bed Crossmembers
I have my bed apart right now and the supports are 2x3", so i dont see why you couldnt use 1/8" wall 2x3 tubing. I checked the price here on the tubing...$110.00 for a 24' piece, so it may be cheaper to buy the bed supports from a vender.

Re: Bed Crossmembers
I would go for the 2x3 square tubing. I replaced my rear cab support with tubing because i couldn't find the rail from any local vendors, and it was very easy to work with

Re: Bed Crossmembers
bed supports are $40 from crosscanadaparts.com so it looks like I will be ordering one of those! I am looking into getting something fabbed up tomorrow, but I doubt it will be less then 40

Re: Bed Crossmembers
Ok so Im just looking into getting some steel tubing, what thickness do I need?
.083 .120 .188 I haven't had much experience with metal! I should be carrying anything too heavy, my truck has a flip kit installed |

.120 = just under 1/8th........125 .188 = just over 3/16th........187 use the .120 and you'll be fine........:smoke: |
Re: Bed Crossmembers
OK the original bed cross-members are 72" correct? I would like to keep them the same length preferably. I was hoping to get them today in Calgary, but my truck is an hour away at my farm, otherwise I would measure it right now!
