seems to me all he pictures show it on the rear center cross sill
Are they also on the cab end cross sill ? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,270 | Not 100% sure, but it would make sense to me that they were for where ever there is a wooden block.

Carl, you are correct, they are where the wooden blocks go. There is also a rubber pad, that sits under the wooden block on your frame. The middle cross sill just floats under your bed, to hold all the bed wood and bed strips in place. Hope that helps.
