What i did for mine was first completely gut all the floor and side walls, to where you just have the outside of the bed
then i layed my truck out for the bd. lined the bed up as best as possible. and started building 1x1 box tubing bed supports. made 2 main outside rails and a bunch of cross braces then i took and built down braces to the bed mount location. once the box frame was done, I took my wheel tubs and went ahead and put them in so i can work around them. then took my first piece of sheetmetal for the floor. Then came all the sidewalls, alot of welding and filler for the seams.
Good luck. Just go look around on here for different beds.
