I am about ready to replace the bed boards in my 1960 short stepside bed. The original bds have been replaced and the metal strips are gone. My plan is to order new metal strips, and fabricate the boards with the woodworking equipment I have at my dosposal. Since the original bds were replaed with 1x6 off the shelf bds, it appears to me that some extra holes were drilled into the metal support cross bars. Several rows of hex head bolts were used to anchor the boards. I can buy the correct bolts locally with no difficilty, all I plan to order are the strips with the square holes and the washers with offset square holes. It would be a big help to me if somebody has a picture showing the location and number of bolts used with the flat washers.Anybody?
