[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 323717, member: 1523"] Install 1" aluminum angle bar across the ribs the width you want the floor to be and add risers to the rib every 10-12". Depending on how thick your aluminum sheet is you'll also need longitudinal stringers between your rib bars. If you run the extra stringers just notch out the section where they'll need to sit on the rib bars and everything will go together easier. Weld, rivet, or screw the frame together and to the ribs. There are literally dozens of builds showing different methods to this madness of building with aluminum. :) Here's one of mine when I was doing some 'testing' a couple years ago.
