I have built several, last one just last summer. I start with a perimeter(front and both sides) .The sides are 8 feet, the front the width of the cab. Weld these together at the front corners. Then use 2" square tube the proper length. The sides and front are "C" channel bent from 1/8 " pieces with a 2" flange on top and a 1" flange on the bottom.The 2"" cross pieces are spaced one about 4"" from the front ,one at the very back, the rest spaced between. If you are using treated yellow pine for the floor space the cross members 1 1/2" below the flange. The boards are fitted under the front flange and the side flanges resting on the cross members. On the front and rear corners I used vertical 2x2 angle irons welded directly to the perimeter. A piece of angle bolted to the rear 2x2 holds the boards in place. The perimeter was bent at a local steel shop, cost was about $120 Total cost was about $200 plus my labor.
