You won't find diagrams at any vendors because the F-2 boxes are completely different than the F-1 boxes. The F-1 box has metal cross members while the F-2/F-3 box has wood cross members. I don't have a drawing of how one is put together but I have a picture of mine before I install the bed boards:
NOTE: The second from last crossmember in my bed is covered by a piece of angle iron, normally the angle isn't there, my bed just happened to have it there so I left it there.
I still have my truck in storage but if you need measurements let me know and I'll crawl under it and take what I can.
John, if you can take pictures of the parts you have and send them to me I might be able to tell you where they all go.
