Replacing the bed in my 54 with a kit from LMC, no instructions of course. I have 8 frame to bed pads and am not sure where they go. Anybody have an idea?

Mar-K's instructions attached. Make sure you buy your next parts from them. Great service, US Company and they are very willing to assist. The 8 pads go under each of the cross 3 cross sills and the rear cross sill.

you'll find lots of info about bed assembly at Mar-K, if there's 8 pads then you likely have 4 full width cross sills, one pad at each bolt where the cross sills sit on the frame

Well said Richie. thumbs_up

LMC's attention to detail and part quality is inferior, IMHO.
