Were all of the boxes mounted on rubber washes? Can this be confirmed by anyone? I've seen the pads in maybe one online source. I didn't put them under my bed, maybe I should have.

My wood bed 69 fleetside never had rubber pads. I can't vouch for steel beds, but I don't think any came new with pads. I've seen this discussed on here before with that conclusion. Maybe someone can confirm. Also my box was not grounded from the factory. In fact, when I had taillight problems in the 70s, the Chevy dealer suggested I ground the bed.
