Bed to Frame Cushioning
I am getting ready to reinstall my bed and was wondering what you all are using, if anything, as a cushion between the bed and the frame? I was thinking maybe sections of a rubber intertube? Was anything installed factory?

Re: Bed to Frame Cushioning
We use conveyor belting cut into squares to go between the bed and frame. It is very tough and holds up well.
I have never seen a truck that came with any cushion between the bed and frame. Jim

Re: Bed to Frame Cushioning
I picked up few rubber squares usually sold in small hardware stores - in the plumbing section... sliced to size, punched holes for the bolts.
