Pic request, inside a stepside bed.

I'm in the process of restoring my stepside, and after replacing the lower portion of the bed sides the last thing I need to do before paint is drill the holes in the lower lip where the bed sides mount to the wood. I know where the cross sills bolt I need holes but some close up pictures of an original would help. Thanks!

83 is a Flareside (a stepside is a Chevrolet).

Thanks for the diagram, but it's pretty rough in showing the bolt hole location.

If someone could even just count the number of bolts on either side it would help. It looks like it should be 9 per side but I'd like to verify before I start drilling holes.
