Mart, Thank you for that. That answers all my questions that I have right now. I appreciate all the effort to help me out.

Thanks, Mart. This is the information I was looking for. I will take some pictures and post them this weekend to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I"m using all new re-pop parts for the bed wood and the inner bed frame. The original one I have was install incorrectly. More to follow. Red

I have purchased the replacement wood for the cab and the bed. I also purchased the sub frame rails for the bed along with the two cross members and the rear piece that attach to the sub frame. I'm looking for info on where the cross members attach to the sub frame. I have some pictures but...

Thanks for the quick reply but none of those drawing depict the bed box sub frame.

I am rebuilding my bed and have purchased all the subframe pieces. Is there a reference as to where the two cross members go? How far from the front/rear or distance between each other. I have searched the internet and came up with a few pictures that provide correct orientation but nothing...

Ok, Got it. On the bottom of the frame. Thanks for the info.

Awesome Mart, That clears up the why part of my question. Can you tell me how the springs are situated on the bolts? Do they go in between the cab and the mounting wood? Red

Can someone give me an idea how the springs come into play? I have just purchased new cab and bed wood but not bolt kits yet. Thanks

Looking for a frame for a 40 Ford pickup. Red

That is definitely a step in the right direction. That should help. Thanks for the help. Red
