Am I right that there are only 2 mid-cross braces that hold the box to the frame + the rear cros brace right under the tailgate? I see some ads where 3 mid braces are for sale. Are the sets of 3 for the long boxes?
Also, is it possible to mount the bed securely to the truck without the floor to ease sanding/prep of the panels? Thanks!!!

I did it this way on my '65 & '53 but it was a lot harder to get to the rail nuts on the bottom. The upside is I don't have any bed mounting bolts showing - they are under the wood (defiantly not the stock look).
