All pretty straightforward, but on the old bed, the cross sills were welded to the bed sides. These do not look like factory welds - Isn't it correct that the sills should be free to move up & down slightly when loaded? Thus they are really only attached to the bed floor? Thanks in advance... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | You are correct. The cross sills are bolted to the bed. On my truck three of the cross sills sit on wood blocks and the whole mess gets bolted to the frame. Check out the tech tips there is some good info on bed installation. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | You are correct.
