I have a fleetside so these pictures are from someone else's stepside. The bolts that go through the metal strips between the wood hold the wood down to the cross members ( you can see some of the nuts and washers in the middle of the first picture of a 69 ) - the large bolts with big washers in the second picture of a 68, go right through the wood, into the frame to hold ALL of it down. You can see their nuts and washers underneath, at the very end of the frame at the top of the first picture ( rear of the truck )
