I assume yours is a styleside? If so just get an old inner tube and cut some to fit where the box contacts the frame. That is what Ford says to use as a replacement part. No wood blocks on a styleside. Maybe the stepside used wood blocks?

Oddly all of my stylesides , both right and wrong bed, still have the old wooden blocks between the bed and frame that Ford originally used on them. I haven't seen any original long bed trucks without the wooden blocks myself.
Sounds like it might be short beds that didn't have the wood from reading this.

Can we just assume "hello113" has a shortbed? Sounds like he does. Lol.

Must be a short box long box deal. My short box has plates welded on the bottom of the channel that would sit on the frame. In between the plate and the top of the channel is a what I would call a pipe that the bolt goes through. Much like how the cabs are for the cab mounts. Pipe is there to keep from overtightening and pulling the bolts through the box. I do know of a 44 thousand mile original 64 long bed style side. Next summer when I see it I will look underneath of it as now I am curious. It is the one on the right side of my avatar

mine is a short box and I have the same plates as on skidoorulz truck
so I guess no wood for a short bed and wood for a long one....

Went and looked at the long and short style sides. The 64 back have wood blocks. Have 65/66 short that has plates with steel spacers.

I doubt you'd be able to see the rubber. When I took mine apart the rubber was paper thin from 45 years of being smashed. I am sure it was used for anti squeak purpose only. Just a thought
