When i removed my longbed stepside from our 55.2 3600 truck, i did not see any wooden block spacers between bed and frame.

Seatched thru forum back 4 pages or so, did not see any info on this......

Is my truck supposed to use the wooden blocks?

Yes it should. Their about 2" square. So look for something similar.

I have a 54 3600 and GM changed the frame and bed design for 1954, and no longer use wooden blocks , same for 55.1 , 55.2 . There are 8, 1/4 " thick rubber pads used in the eight bed to frame bolt locations. You can get them from several sources, Mar-K has them, their p/n 120181 , $13.00 for set of 8.
