I have gotten the temporary bed installed on my Frankentruck. (I will save the $$ and effort to install a more formal bed floor until I get the vehicle functional. That is still a distance away.)
Due to the wider frame and narrower bed, it took a bit of creative work, but it is mounted and secure.
I have a question about the space between the bottom of the bed and the skirt that goes between the top of the frame and the running board. In my case, there is about a 1/4" to 3/8" gap where one can see under the bed and over that sheet metal piece. Is this the appearance that one should expect there? (See attached photo.) I might be able to close this gap by putting the rubber anti-squeak pads under the sheet metal instead of between the wood bed mounting block and the sheet metal.
