Please help, need pics of fleetside bed top and bottom

I tried to put the painted bed together today with no luck. The only thing I accomplished was getting the 4 sides of the bed up on the frame. I took the thing apart so long ago and didn't take notes so I don't remember where the cross sills go. There are 3 long ones and 1 short. It also looks like the Brothers fuel tank inlet is right in the middle of where one of the sills needs to go. Some pics of the topside and bottomside would help a BUNCH! Thanks.

Here you go, hope it helps. As you can see the short ones go between the fender wells. The rest should be pretty much plug and play.

Hmmm.....I only have one short sill. Is that a '58-59 bed? It looks different on the sides.

Yes, 58-59 the only two years of this style bed. However mine is a long bed, is yours a short bed?

I just replied to your PM but remembered this photo. It should help. Most of my bed wood was broken along the "missing" line from 20 years of hauling heavy loads.
