Floorbed Question

I’m making my own wood bed and I have a couple questions for you all out there:

1. What is the distance between the wood planks?

- I am guessing ½ inch? But I am not too sure.

2. When you look at the cross-section of the wood plank, what are the dimensions of the groove that is cut into the plank?

3. How far is the groove cut into the wood and how wide should it be? I will be using a stock skid plate that I bought from Mid 50.

Thanks so much for any help you could offer me. I would really appreciate it!
