I bought a 49 that someone else had "started" to make a daily driver. I'm getting ready to tackle the bed wood however I am running into issues. The brackets he welded on for the upper shock mounts extend higher then the angle strip on the side of the bed. He also ran uni-strut as cross sills and was going to cover with diamond plate. My first thought was to use the hidden fastener strips between the wood in order to line them up with the "uni-strut" cross sills and use a over sized washer and a nut to fasten. I am not sure if that will work very well or not. I will try to include some pictures if I can figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
