49 F1 bed frame

Can anyone help me with dimensions and or pictures of the bed frame? I am replacing the middle and rear cross members. I am assuming that ,49" is the constant but the rear cross member does not match. Wondering if I'm not understanding or just need to modify,. I'm not unaccustomed to aftermarket parts needing"tweaks", just want a little reassurance that my thinking is on the right track.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks FortyNiner. Wish I were more skilled with the search engine. I wouldn't be repeating questions already asked and answered. Old dogs, new tricks stuff.

No worries, glad to help, Bob.

BTW, while not quite in the UP, I am just outside of Iron Mountain for the weekend. I'm waving at you now - using all my fingers.

There is a little step in where it goes around the bedside stamping but comes back to 49" on the other end. The rear crossmember may be wider because it has to overlap with other pieces and the stake pocket to give strength to the bed side. That connection from the rear crossmember to the stake pocket is all there is to hold up the bedside. There's not a lot left of the pieces I have, but hopefully it may help some to figure out how it all goes together.
