The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed bed crossmember location? 1957 3100

ok im having issues reassembling bed.... i bought this one already disassembled. so i will have many issues with reassembly. i have the assembly manual but does not show cross sill location... i have 3 cross sill 2 are the same size ( havent measured just eyeballed them) the other is a different looking one completely and i dont know if it goes in front or bad and really dont know what goes where as far as if blocks are needed and bolts needed as well. thank you for your time and i hope i can solve this problem quickly.

Have you attempted this yet? There should be bolt holes for the cross members.

the issue is not the holes.... the issue is which crossmember goes where. as in there are 2 that are the same and 1 different. however after searching for a few day i have found a pic of a 57 bed and think i have it figured out.

Mine had indentation marks in the top of the frame where the cross stills sat... If you can not find any marks some one with a TF should be able to tell what the measurements are...You can find the bolt holes on the frame and lay the cross stills over them to see what they look like... Also, www.mar-k.com/index.aspx has the bed installation instructions...
