Step Side Bed Experts

[67C10Step]

I spent a bit of time this weekend working on small stuff. Welding up some cracks in the steps and pulling stuff off the rear section in prep to clean it all up for paint.

I was working on my bed cross sills and made a discovery. Someone has trimmed all the cross sills to 49-1/2” length just like the reinforcement strip. LMC says the sills should be 49-7/8” in length.

Should I try to reuse them or replace? They are in ok but not great shape. My long term plan for my truck is to have a nice driver not a show truck but I don’t want to be fighting something down the road when I try to put it all back together.
