The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed Bed sills on a 42 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup

Hi, I'm working on a 42 1/2 ton Chevy pickup and it is a stepside short bed and was wondering, there are three bed sill crossmebers for that bed and I know where two go, the one in the front and the one behind the rearend that bolt to the frame, but not sure where the three one goes, and does it bolt to the frame too,also do you need to put angle iron on the side of the bed for a wood striped bed, thanks for any input and if anybody have any pictures they can post that would be great

Thanks I checked that out already but I tought that there was one under the wood floor, but I guess not

I have a 46 short bed. There is the rear piece about 6 inches thick and the wood rests on a recess. The wood also rests on the front lip of the bed. Then I have three cross piece. One goes behind the wheel and two in front. Mine is in pieces so I can't give you dimensions.

Thanks
