Bed mounting question

Post by bantamtrailer » Wed Apr 28, 2021 4:27 pm

Does anyone have pictures of exactly how the early steel bed mounted with the 2 piece wood stringers? Mine has the two pieces of wood with the holes cut for the rivets on the frame. Thank you.

Are you looking for info on the wood stringers, or the u-bolts used to secure the bed to the frame?

pretty sure the pictures ended up reversed. Just let me know what dimensions you needcurrently have my stringers and bolts off the truck, so easy to get to.

Sent a couple drawings to your email address for the bolts and wood stringers.
