If I can get things lined up, I will need to drill holes on the outer edges and the wheel tub edges. I appears from what I have seen that the gaps in the boards that the strips cover are just wide enough for the bolts to fit between. Hoping to get some suggestions from others who have created their own beds and make things fit. Once things fit and I get the holes drilled, I will disassemble the bed, seal the boards with spar varnish and re-assemble.
