Ok, the only point I was/am making is that the holes in the wear strips dictate where the re-enforcement strip goes, and I would assume the re-enforcement strip is there to span the area (over the axle) between the cross sills so in the event that a heavy enough load is put on the floor to cause the floor to sag in that area the re-enforcement strip will sit on the frame and help carry the load with out causing damage to the wood, correct? these trucks were built to be worked
