Wood Bed in 63. Do I need frame tabs for cross sills?
Does anyone know where I can get just the cross sill pads or tabs.
These go on the frame under the cross sills then the wood bed bolts through. I can get them with new cross sills although don't need em. Can I make these frame tabs or some call them sill supports? Any suggestions? Do I need them? |

You can always make them if you have a brake and shear... MAR-K, Brothers or LMC most likely the easiest.

I have found the pad but not the metal brackets the pads go in. My truck was so rusted I can't tell what size they need to be. Are they about 6"x4" and will galvanized sheet metal metal work?

It is a thin steel plate looks like sheet metal that the cross sill sit on and the pads go under it think. Mine have rusted away don't have them to take a picture. I saw them on a 65 yesterday at the local body shop that had the bed off

The bed bolts go through the wood and sill plates and then through these and then through the frame
