64 stepside bed wood help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The 64 shortbed stepside I'm working on was missing the under-bed supports for the wood to bolt to. I've gotten new ones and need some dimensions on where to put them in. Can someone get me some dimensions from the tailgate area forward on where these should be located?

There are three cross sills and two reinforcing strips. They will align with holes in the angle strips, measured forward from the rear end of the wood as follows. Cross sill at 17 5/8", reinforcing strip at 32 3/4", reinforcing strip at 52 3/8", cross sill at 63 3/8", Cross sill at 74 3/4". If you find these dimensions slightly different than your angle strips, use your existing hole locations. Be sure the cross sills have the 1" riser welded on them to support them at the right height.
