long bed problem
I have a 66 long bed fleetside that I'm putting a new bed in. I need a big favor from the long bed owners. I need some real good pictures of the front of the bed that shows the position of the front mounts. I would like both finished beds and unmodified frames. I need to verify the frame mount position. I'll explain more later. Thanks

Re: long bed problem
Not sure if these pictures are close enough to help, but it's all I have for the moment.

Re: long bed problem
That bare frame photo is close. Do you happen to have any more of that frame? I have the 2 front bed to frame mounts on each side that are 12" apart that hold the front cross sills that bolt to the bed and then a dummy cross sill at the front end of the wheel houses. I have been told that this is not correct for a long bed fleetside so I am trying to verify that this is correct since he won't believe me.

Re: long bed problem
Quote:
Ignore the blue circle, I don't remember why I circled that  For a long bed, there's 3 full bed to frame crossmembers in front of the wheel wells that bolt the bed to the frame. There is a short crossmember that does not bolt anywhere to the frame, but it does tie the front of the wheel tubs together and provides an additional crossmember for bed bolts. The rear of the wheel tubs bolt into a full bed to frame crossmember.
