I have two questions for you all:
1- How many bed cross member sills does a ½ ton 1948 Chevy truck have? The truck we have has a sill above the fuel tank, another before the "hump" on the chassis and a third after the chassis "hump." Deve's bed instructions calls for two above the fuel tank.
2- The bed on frame sitting on the front two wood or rubber spacers allows the bed body to be inclined / sloped down in the front panel about I would guess more than inch (more or less as observed on the bubble of a level.) I guess this is the proper slope since the neck of the fuel tank (installed inside the frame just aft of the cab) aligned with the right hand bed side panel hole for the fuel tank neck extension.
