Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

i see you have cutouts in your boxing plates, for the big bolts that hold the bed on
started out doing the same thing and left drain holes for any water that got in
ended up welding up the cutouts and welding on 2x2x3/16 angle bracket on the outside of the frame
i reinforced the bed rails for new bolt location, bolted the rails on and recessed the bed wood to hide the bolts
i like the look of hidden bed bolts
