My '38 HC 1/2 ton had precious little left of original bed when I began this project. Just rec'd complete replacement bed. Bought wood and stainless hardware from a supporter of this forum.
I'm a little overwhelmed. Got bed assembled and squared up. Wood was a struggle, but I think it will be Okay now. The wood was pre-drilled (Tnx, MAR-K) and the holes for the two rear cross sills appear under the angle strips. I assume this is the correct location. However, the holes drilled in the wood are the size of the 6 large carriage bolts in the kit which are too large to place through the angle strip (also pre-drilled for smaller carriage bolts) Do I drill out the square holes to accomodate the larger bolts? I am really kind of lost here!
