Re: bed cross memebers
Hi There, I am in the process of replacing all of the bed cross members on my 82'. You can buy replacements from a distributor of "Key Parts" . The new members are very good quality, and I believe they are thicker than the originals. Probably easiest to pull off your box, and tip it over to remove / replace. Drill out spot welds with a bit or spot weld cutter to remove originals. Drill 5/16" holes in new members, and plug weld to bed bottom with a MIG welder.
