7 bed boards in 1946.
9 bed boards through 1951.
8 bed boards in 1952 and later.
50" usable bed width in 1947 and later.
48.5 usable bed width in 1946.

If the only holes in the cross sills are the ones with the bed strip bolts in them, then you have a 46 or earlier bed parts.

The bed is 50" wide I will check the hole locations, maybe some one replaced the orginal boards at some point with the 7 that are there now - All the boards are about the same width on my bed, pictures of '46 beds that I have seen appear that the center board is wider than the others
