Underside of bed - cross brace/frame posistions
 
A few questions:

Does any one have pictures of the location of the cross sills (still attached to the underside of the bed?

And does any one have a picture of the placements. I have the MAR-K install pages, but it does not go into detail as to where/what side to use?

I'm doing my best to photo document this build so others can stop the guessing.......but I'm a bit stuck as to the placement.

Simple way lay your stripes down the holes should line up

Here's a pic of some of them (the back 2) on Cecilia, but she's a long stepper. I don't know if it helps at all.

Fetch your looks slightly different, as many of us know there are two different size of under bed cross sills. 5 taller and 1 shorter. I have the 8' bed and cant remember in what position they go. I lost the one picture I really need back from 2000 when we stripped the bed off the frame.

I laid out the cross rails on the frame, anyone know if these are correctly placed?

Thanks

Jake,

Maybe these photos will help. The first is my original 1960 GMC Fenderside bed with cross sills still attached. The 2nd & 3rd pictures we were laying out the placement of the new parts.

If these photos are not viewable, go to Bed Cross Sill Photo Album at http://6066gmcclub.com/album.php?albumid=309 or I can email them to you directly.

Before any mounting do a double check with the bright work that comes with the bed boar kit. The holes are spaced to match the cross braces remember the double holes go to the cab first hole mounts to front of bed. Second is in first cross brace. Hope this helps

Arthur,

The step side seems to have 1 extra cross rail. I'll have to pester Mar-K
