Howard63:

Your third cross sill goes in the third bed to frame bolt position, 53-3/4 back from the front panel, and that particular shape cross sill with the clearance is only used on short bed trucks. The assembly manual does show a drawing of that cross sill but not what it is clearance for. Hopefully another member can enlighten us both on why the extra clearance is needed in that spot.
