I have a mfg home 28 x 66 w/a full foundation under. I want to put a finished room in. My question is how do I put up a ceiling? I would have to attach the wood to the steel frame. Any ideas for the best way to put up a ceiling?

Welcome to the forums

I'm not sure I follow you, are you wanting to put a room under the MH? What about the pier placement? Usually they are 8' or less apart. How high does your MH sit? Is it on a slab?

I have a full foundation under my home. 8'height. I'm not sure what kind of ceiling I can put up. I'm not sure how to attach anything to the steel frame.
There are metal supports down the middle at the marraige wall.

Above the frame rails there are wooden floor joists, you could attach the ceiling to them. It might be best to consult the manufacture or an engineer if you want/need to alter the steel rails in any way.
