I then took a couple measurements to rough in the length of the horizontal bar and the vertical pieces that bolt to the frame, tacked them it together, marked and drilled holes in the frame, adjusted, then fully welded.
I would drill the holes a little oblong in the vertical pieces that attached to the frame to give you a little up and down adjustment.
If you follow this process I think it'll turn out better than going from dimension. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. I have one more question about the angle iron you bolted on the inner bed sides, I see you have a picture showing a location measurement but I am not sure what is being referenced. My bedsides are new so the factory rails are there but I assume using those will make the bed sit high.
