I like a 20 foot flat on 6 and 8 ton running gears, and 18 foot deck if its a 5 ton gear. Mine are all spaced the same, 18 inches from the center of the front axle to the front of the flat, 4 feet from the center of the rear axle to the back of the tailgate.
For runners, or sills, I used to use 3x10 white oak but, when I started making some silage bales I broke a few 3x10s so I went to using 4x8 white oak. I like them a lot better. For the flooring, I use 1.5 inch x8 foot, variable width or 6 inch width rough cut white oak, nailed to the runners with 2-3 twisted, case hardened masonary nails (not galvanized, they are way too soft). 2x6x20 sideboards, white oak, bolted with 3/8 inch carriage bolts. I space the floor boards 3/4 of an inch apart to help keep the deck clean.
