Anyone have a picture or diagram of how they mount onto the frame?

I am going to assemble a bed so I can repair it...

Starting at the front,you have 3 tall supports,then 3 short ones,1 more tall and finally the rear cross sill. I tried to get a few pics. Maybe this will help. First pic is from the rear. The 3rd tall support from the front is only a few inches from the 1st shorter support. CONFUSED YET?

Few more. Another shot from the rear.

I assume that it's a wood floor since the metal one's are attached. Be sure to cut some wood for spacers where the bedside rests on the cross sill. I used decking or anything close to 3/4"... Here are pics of the SWB, just add more. LMC has diagrams I think..

Some of the cross sills have wide mounting pads for the frame... I just measured from the rear sill to all the frames holes and matched that up with the bedsides. Mine still needs one in the very front and a reinforcement strip (they only attach onto the wood, not the frame).

Thanks guys.

All Long Horns were wood floors. I want to assemble this, so I can repair it but I will add a steel 3/16" floor.
