Question: Need dimensions on a 47-53 Chevy bed sides

[yates]

I wanting to know the dimensions of the angled bed sides as in front to back, height up to the rolled part, top and bottom of the notched part. I also need dimensions on the front panel.

Sorry to ask so much but I am using the laser cutter and bender at work to make bed sides and front panels and will just weld new stake pockets and pipe to them.

In the pic below (sorry for the horrible pic) I need to the measurement of A + 19" (assuming the 19" is correct), the measurement of B, the measurement of C, if that area is notched out and if so how, and double check the areas already measured. If anyone can help with hole measurement and placement would be incredible as I could have those cut out when the side are cut out.



I know I am asking for a lot! Thank you for looking.

Don't quote me on these, but on mine, I got:
A=5.5"
B=32"
C=11"
As far as the notch goes at the rear. Mine looks like about 4.75" but I can't say for sure because the PO did some work back there.
The 19" height seems to be correct, other than that, mine is a long bed.

Thank you! Since you are not too sure hopefully someone can chime in with a second opinion lol!

Using work equipment to build trucks and choppers is the American dream. I took my first engineering job because i saw lots of potential in a 100000 sqft worth of welding and machine shops.
