Flare side bed diagrams

Anyone with a diagram showing which holes to use for the crossmember? The silver one is labeled center support and the same length as the darker one. Both of these are shorter and clearly go where the wheel tubs are. The longer one I assume is between the wheel tub and rear.

oh and should the channel in the crossmembers be facing up or down?

I think the channels need to be turned over. That's whee the wood will lay. I'll try and get a couple of pics this weekend of my bed cross members, but won't be back on here till next Tuesday. Going out of town.

Yes looks like #10617 should be turned over in your pic.

And some other flareside stuff I have.

thanks for the diagrams. However, it doesn’t show which holes the cross members need to go into. I guess I’ll take a look at the bed strips and the slats and figure out where they need to be for the bed to frame bolts.

Oops yes now I understand your question, I agree that one wood hold down metal strip should show you where the cross member need to go.
