Re: bolt bed to frame under wood?

If I understand your question I must state that the plates that are on the bottom of the cross sills are attached only with very small resistance spot welds.

I know this because I had to remove and relocate the plates when I widened the bed on my truck.

I wouldn't trust them to hold the bed on, they were never intended as structural attachments, there purpose is simply to keep the sills from spreading and to serve as a washer between the sills and the frame.

My 2 cents...................
