Thanks so much for the link to the photos. With the tape measure in there I at least have some idea of where the cross sills go.
That should help a lot when I start laying things out. I'm assuming that the bed sides somehow bolt to the ends of the cross sills, so maybe that will also help in lining things up. Although now I need to go down to the barn and take a close look at the bed sides.
Update!
I got out to the barn and looked at the bed sides, and they have holes along the bottom edge where the cross sills bolt on. I should have seen those earlier.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
