    My 95 Benson got cracked by a forklift they quoted me 2500 for the outside rail of the bed not the frame. 7000 to cut the rail off and install new rail new lights and rubrail. So if say the floor is pretty pricey. Might be cheaper and far easier to buy an all aluminum trailer.

    Yeah I ain’t doing that. Just got a real good deal on a spread axle curtain side with wood floor. Looks like it will stay wood.

    You will have to hit up truck junk yards for the floor off of a crashed trailer that can give you a few runners at a time for scrap prices?
