M931A2 bed questions

[JSE]

There is a chance of a flood in our area in the next week or so. If anyone had info on bed floor and wall material thickness, square tubing size, and pretty much anything that could help me with a steel order, it'd be greatly appreciated. I have the dimensions I want to build one to. This is going to go on a 931A2. Any pictures of how the bed supports and measurements, mounting, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

If it weren't for the threat of a flood, I wouldn't ask.

Please include your state in your location as the rules request.

I cut down cargo beds and mount to M931A2's.

The way I do it is that I bolt the truck side mounts to existing holes in the truck frame. Then I place the bed in position. I then weld the mounts to the bed.

This leaves the truck original, while all the mods are done to the bed, allowing for the truck to be returned to pristine condition.

Pics in a moment.

More pics of the mounts themselves... note they line up with existing frame holes on the truck side.
