Where do the two center cross sills go on the frame of a 1951 1/2 ton

One goes just before the frame kick up. It only bolts to the bed wood. It clears the frame by about a half inch and comes in contact with the frame only when a heavy load is put on it. Its location can usually be determined by locating a worn place on each frame rail just in front of the frame kick up, this is where the cross sill came in contact with the frame during a heavy load.

The other cross sill installs just behind the frame kick up using a 2 inch wooden block. Its mounting hole should be the first hole just behind the frame kick up.
hope this helps

Yeah, thanks! I'm just putting wood back in mine, but the mysterious 3rd support was never there to begin with.
