First Time Poster Who Needs Help with 96 Bed

[cv880]

Greetings All,

I am the proud owner of a 70 step side that I have finally got the time to start working on! I know lots of people hate the idea of doing this but, I have decided to put a 96 bed on my truck and I am in need some help from those who have done this before me. How did you mate the new bed to the frame ? The easiest way I can figure is to use a section of 2 1/2 square tubing across the front and back. Looking forward to getting the new bed on and getting her back on the road. Thanks for the help- Eric
