Help with my bed

I have an 1981 Ford F-150 that I removed the bed on it and between the bed and the frame there were wooden blocks. The problem I have is that the bloccks were old and broke up so I don't know what size they were so I can cut some more. Can someone help me

Wooden blocks are not stock or safe. If this was some sort of redneck body lift, I would go buy the proper plastic block kit from the store and use it.

Not sure that was what was under there when I got it. I had to come like that back then cause there isn't any under the cab and if you sit the bed back on the frame without any thing under there it sits to low

Is this a flare side bed with the fenders sticking out?

Well hang in there, hopefully someone will come along familiar with those beds, there are several people in here that do have that type of bed. The regular styleside or smooth sided beds sit right on the frame with no blocks.

You say unsafe to have wood block? My 93 F350 have fridge box it sit on wood block to frame.

I believe it was 2" square wood not soft wood I mean strong wood.
