How many rubber pads do you use on a 1953 short bed? There's 4 blocks total, right? Two on the front panel sides and two on one of the crossmembers. Do you use 6 pads, one for each block plus the rear cross sill under the tailgate? I've seen different aftermarket vendors sell differing amounts for the same bed.

Good bed details here, and BC52 is correct on the numbers.
