Tech Tip for 1936-46 1/2 ton bed mounts

My understanding of the front and center mounts is that they don't go thru the wood, but just into a plate on the bottom of the cross-sill with a lock washer, castle nut and cotter pin on top of that plate, but below the top of the cross-sill and the wood. I'd think it'd be a little difficult to get to that nut inside the cross-sill. Maybe that's why GM went to the offset washers and carriage bolts from the top for the AD series beds.
