Re: Bed Cross Members Don't Line Up with Bed Strips?
Keith is giving you great advice....
When i do the wood in a box i start at the outside and work my way into the middle but thats just the way i do it.....i find it works best for me that way. I also stopped bolting the box through the wood and instead i use shorter bolts and bolt the box to the frame using the frame of the cross member it looks cleaner i think. If your hauling lots of stuff or weight i wouldn't go that route...
The cross sills/members aren't welded they bolt in... onto the sides of the box....and some of them might be bolted to the frame in a few places
Because the guy had plwood in before there might not be all the cross members for the box in place....that might be one issue.
You might have the cross members in the wrong places...they should line up with the holes on the box sides ( he might have drilled extra holes in the sides to put the plywood in and that might be screwing you up )
Who knows what the PO had done under the plywood....they hack and toss out all sorts of things over the years
good luck just take your time and it will all make sense...
