Hi Kevin,

Many thanks for the great information! It is definitely what we need.

This truck seems to have suffered a similar failure of the bed mounts. Apparently the brackets were broken off the aprons when the bed and fenders dropped. The bed dropped so far that the cross member in front of the rear axle fell on to the frame.

I think that the brackets breaking off really saved the aprons. Overall they are in pretty good shape.

I agree with your suggestion about trial fitting the parts to get the correct position of the brackets.
