wood bed

I haven't done my '50 yet but the previous owner already had oak milled up for it, I need to clean up the filler strips and figure out how it mounts to the frame (are there supposed to be cross members on the frame?)
I could pull out the strips I've got if you need dimensions or pics of them

The 48-50 F-1, F-47 and the Merc M-47, had a stamped steel floor, with a hardwood sub floor. The F-2 on up had the wood floor. The stamped steel floors are available, if originalty is your preference. Ford went back to the wood in the F-1 begining in 51.
